In between ripping out the wardrobes and sorting our main bedroom, I have done a few small makeovers and sold some of my furniture and added £28 to the charity pot. The lovely white chair that so many of you admired went to someone in Brighton (fortunately they had friends who lived close to my parents so I could drop it off there rather than trundle to Brighton!). I also sold my sewing box to someone in Nutley Antiques. It's so great to declutter - I want a more coordinated and decluttered sewing room and it's getting there! Just a few more things to do (more tidying and sorting) and we are there!
My little sewing chair (the white one was rather too big) has had a quick makeover - I painted the chair in 1829 Craig and Rose 'Cabinet Maker's Green' emulsion (tester pot) and then waxed. I usually just use eggshell, but wanted a cheaper and quick drying makeover.
I used the other tester pot to paint this firescreen table - I was going to add some wallpaper to the middle, but I rather like the original print now that the frame has been painted green. It looked really yellow and awful before, but I think it sets it off now. Later today I'm popping over to my grandparents to paint the 2 wardrobes a very pale grey so that we can get a man with a van to pick them up later in the week and get our clothes straight in them (can't wait for that then we can get the spare room back to normal!).
Other projects on the horizon include making a few bits of wall art for our bedroom.
