A modern MDF bedside cabinet, the sort that has fake pine laminate on it.
Looks so much better painted in Annie Sloan Henrietta and Old White for the handles.
A feature stencil on the top. The stencil is a Jamie Oliver one, supposed to be for baking!
All drawers lined with some wallpaper with a French theme.
Wallpaper purchased from The Range.
Handles lightly distressed. Three coats of wax and polished to finish.
My favourite auction buy this week. A 1960's sewing box. It was very dusty, so gave it a quick polish with some wax. Shows up the teak wood nicely.
Expands to quite a large size. Made by a company called Arnold. All nice and clean apart from the bottom layer and a small chip to the wood on one top corner.
Very busy week, with friends and my Granddaughter over to visit.
Hope you have all had an equally happy week.
I do like the sewing box, which looks very much like the one I use. It was picked up for free outside someone's house and restored by my dad.
ReplyDeleteMy mum had that sewing box! Wish I had kept it and done it up instead of telling her to chuck it out when I was younger!
ReplyDeleteThat sewing box is fab!
ReplyDeleteThat cabinet looks a million times better and the sewing box is lovely. I had one smaller but similar years ago, now you have me wondering where it went ?!
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with the bedside cabinet, it's hard to believe it was yucky pine effect laminate MDF. I used to have a sewing box like that, but I think my mum has it now.
ReplyDeleteYour revamped bedside cabinet looks wonderful. I love the fact you've used a baking stencil. I have to admit I did have one of those sewing cabinets but got rid of it many years ago. I am quite annoyed with myself now. Have a crafty week.
