Firstly, can I say THANKS for all the kind and encouraging comments many of you have left, what a buzz!
This project is a corner TV cabinet which I won on ebay for $46. Not a huge bargain but it was the right piece of furniture for the spot I wanted it.
The handles are from a set that I won on ebay last month which I painted white. The interesting thing about the handles is that as soon as I set foot inside the sellers house I knew I had found a kindred spirit. I couldn't stop myself from checking out her lovely interior decor. She has some beautiful pieces of furniture and I had to control myself from wandering off to check out the rest of her home! We got chatting and I mentioned that I do a bit of upholstery. Well, out of that short conversation (hubby and girls were waiting patiently in the car for me) I am now reupholstering her large ottoman and 8 dining chairs for her. When she said that she would remove all the staples from the chairs before she dropped them off to me, I could swear I heard a choir of angels singing the Hallelujah chorus from Handels Messiah.
So I guess I'll have a few more posts up my sleeve.... never a dull moment:o)

I have just realised that the script for this post is in some random spot between my photos and I still don't know how to move it around so I'm sorry about that!

Hi Ange love your TV cabinet....we don't get to see too many of them in deco mags...always wonder what people do with their TVs..LOL.. Thanks for offering some wonderful advice about my kitchen but I think I'll have to work on changing huubys mind about the paint..I think I have a plan..will post about that later. Have a great weekend Kym X

Much better! Can't wait to see her ottoman and chairs once you're done with them.
You did a wonderful job and I love the color :) Have a wonderful day!
You did a great job on your tv unit!
Great job on the tv cabinet, Ange, and congrats on getting a new client to boot! I like that the cabinet and the tv aren't center stage, but allow the other pretties in the room to be the focal point.
Hope you're doing well, and thanks for following DD.
What a magic transformation! So pleased to hear that someone else isn't quite sure how to do some things on their blog! Have a lovely Mothers Day
double fab!!!!
happy mothers day too!
I likey that makeover...hope your mothers day was restful!
That's so funny. I am just about to paint the exact same TV cabinet. I hate it in pine and thought it would look good in white. Now that I've seen it, I am definately going to start it this week.
