Revamp

In order to have the dining chairs i wanted on a budget, i purchased chairs from a local charity shop for £15 for the pair. I then bought a large cushion from TK Maxx which was covered in a fabric i liked. The chairs were cleaned, stripped back and painted, the cushion dismantled, and the fabric used to cover two smaller cushions in order to make the seats. Over all cost, £25.

Wardrobe

Spent nearly 3 hours, cleaning and reorganising my wardrobe. Feel so much better for it!



Home Made Coffee Table

It started with a wooden delivery pallet i enquired from Uni. After a good sanding with the belt sander and by hand, i white washed it with a white emulsion and wire wool. I attached caster wheels to the base and had my local glazier cut a piece of glass for the top. Voila!

Just a little DIY

I spent a long time looking for the perfect bedside table when i was recently redecorating my master bedroom. It had to be the right size, not too big but not too small. With a drawer but not completely made up of drawers. No one (as usual!) seemed to make what i was looking for. I get an image in my head and that is what i NEED to find! So when all else fails, do it yourself. This cabinet came as a pair, £5 each from a local charity shop. Bargain! I took them home and spent a good two hours sanding them right back (i did have before photos, but someones deleted them by mistake - me!) I then painted them all over with Laura Ashley Charcoal and added the same yellow that had been used in the room. I finished them off with a white gloss stripe (for change of texture) and a glass top for protection. The glass knob is also Laura Ashley (the most expensive part!) 

Quaint City Pad

Well i apologise for my absence. I have been at The T in the Park festival, back 1 day then in Spain on holiday. It was great having some time out, but back to reality now and playing catch up with my posts. Please bear with me!

Much like my taste in fashion, my interior preferences very much depend on my mood. Sometimes i can find a bleak, ultra contemporary interior appealing, other times I'm overwhelmed by busy, patterned, old English inspired interiors. The above property belongs to no other than Rachel Stevens. She is currently trying to sell the 2 bed apartment for a cool £1.1 million!

White Floorboards

I am loving white painted floorbaords at the moment and wish i had done this to my dressing room before i built up all the wardrobe storage units. Next time! Also loving the mirrors in the door panelling in the above photo.
