Flashback furniture project.... this one holds a v

Flashback furniture project.... this one holds a very special place in my heart probably not because of the overall outcome although I love it, but I think maybe it’s linked to such happy memories of my European tour in teaching furniture painting techniques, this one was completed on my first visit to Athens in Greece. Just after A few days of spending time in the city With the Greek distributor of Annie Sloan Chalk paint I couldn’t quite believe the amount of inspiration that was everywhere and I think it certainly shows in this piece of furniture.

Most of the items in our home are reclaimed or rep

Most of the items in our home are reclaimed or repurposed/ renovated this old trunk has been with us for sometime it has had a sympathetic lick of paint also monogram and date which I feel works well with its age.
Sometimes when living with beautiful items in your home you can walk past them on a daily basis and not appreciate them, so note to self beautiful and great storage, also check out the vintage hand mirrors when grouped and hung on the wall they make quite an interesting art installation, especially paired with the vintage @sanderson1860 curtains...
All the paint products used on the chest where Annie Sloan Chalk paint French linen and graphite perfect paint when working with vintage items. #vintagetrunk

In my downtime I have been catching up with a few restoration project’s,
One of which these two early Victorian ornate plaster wall plaques. The pair of them came to me in a very Poor condition with huge cracks running all the way through and small pieces missing, I’m just so sorry that I never took the before picture but at least the pair of them are now are in one piece.
I decided to hang them in the newly refurbished hall stairs and landing haven’t quite made up my mind whether they feel right in the space but at least it’s another project complete and hopefully they will live on another hundred years plus....... #plasterwork

An old friend with a new friend... so Lily the cat

An old friend with a new friend... so Lily the cat was a stray that arrived at Christmas she is very cheeky. The long case clock was a reproduction that was in need of some attention the glass panel was broken so I replaced with timber I decided to get all creative in a chinoiserie style is one of my most earliest creations as I started painting with Annie Sloan Chalk paint and I suppose it stayed with me for so long because I truly love it now this Clarke graces are upper corridor to the back of the house please excuse the naked floors we’ve been having new radiators throughout the house.
Wishing you all a happy weekend xx #anniesloanchalkpaint

I’ve got a lovely pair of corbels....
This is a tough post to make sense so if you jump over to my stories and find kitchen makeover that will explain, In short our kitchen had many different level changes on the ceiling due to extensions pitched roofs and iron supports which for some reason probably wouldn’t bother most people but my Iline kept on catching the curve on the ceiling where the pitch roof is connected to the wall and ceiling and another level change from the main house and a supporting Iron beam and so what to do with it either just ignore all make a feature of it check out the pictures and you can see in the second image the original ceiling prior to my handiwork like I said if you wanna see more just check out stories . #houserenovation

Happy weekend everybody this week has been a very busy week for me juggling going back to my hairdressing job and looking after mum.
This Image was taken within my workshop A little while ago whilst staging a piece of furniture which I hope to get back to very soon.
In other news I have been documenting some of the renovations in the house mostly the kitchen so over the next few days I’ll be sharing some of the video footage and images of my makeover I’ve still got a long way to go mainly all of the kitchen cabinets to paint but I am keeping myself busy creatively And I thought it will be best to share with you all otherwise it will be lost in the camera roll like this beautiful image....so keep an eye out for my stories over the next few days x #paintedfurniture
