Pine Bookcase

This pine bookcase was going spare in my family so I rescued it with a little Annie Sloan. Yes I know, I'm obsessed! But it's such good stuff! Painted in striking 'Greek Blue' and 'Old white'

Nik Naks

I wanted to find somewhere to house some old match boxes my husbands nan had collected and also some of his old toy cars. I spotted this old letterpress tray at a flea market and fell in love!

A touch of Summer

Chair legs painted in 'English Yellow' by Annie Sloan and back pasted in retro floral wrap.

Colour rush

Loving Annie Sloan and Fired earth colours at the moment. 

This chair I painted in Scandinavian Pink by Annie Sloan and Hustle at 5 by Fired earth. Yum!

Project Dollshouse

A new project to get my hands on! My friend very kindly donated this dollshouse to Liv. It needs a touch of paint which I've already started... Watch this space to see how it develops!

Photo Wheel

I'm always looking for different ways to display my photos around the house. I saw this idea on Pinterest and instantly I had to steal it to put our holiday photos on.

Out of the Dark Workshop

I love a chance to put my stamp on a chair and on Wednesday I had the pleasure of taking part in a workshop held by peops from Trade fair Bubble and company Out of the Dark. 

Out of the Dark is a charitable social enterprise that creates beautifully crafted furniture, They recycle, restore and revamp pieces discarded by others and in the process train, educate and employ young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The chairs we upcycled in the workshop will be auctioned at the Bubble Trade fair in February with proceeds going to OOTD. 

Upcycled toilet roll craft

This week I thought this was worth a pic! Made by me, Age 30 and daughter Olivia, Age 2.

Fun with Origami...

Dollies!
