Upcycled

                        Here are some of the Upcycling projects

                        I will be working on over the next few weeks.

Vintage Dressing Table, comes with a beautiful large vintage mirror. The dressing table itself is in need of a complete make over as there are a few marks and scratches that are to be expected with a Piece of furniture that has been  used over many years, small imperfections - but that's why we love them.

 

   Upcycling furniture gives you an

   alternative to the mundane produced

   pieces while adding a special touch

   to your home.

   Elegant, Rustic, Shabbychic haven't 

   decided yet!  keep it neutral or go for

   the more elaborate design? 

Living room furniture Antique chairs

 I'm all for embracing the new

but isn't great that we can give some

older pieces of furniture a new lease

of life!

 I would like to share a brief 

 chair history with you. 

 I found this charming little sketch 

 book circa: 1937.

 

  The chairs below are from the Victorian

  and Regency era and are all designs

  we can still use today I know I do.

  The Windsor chairs are one of the most 

  Robust and typically victorian with the 

  bulbous turned legs and double-cross

  stretcher stamp.

  The Windsor chairs were generally used
in the kitchens and often painted in dark green or black!
Very purposeful.

  The simple fan back Windsor usually

  had flat seats and were usually made

   with elm or beech wood, these design

  variants have been with us ever since.

Quote of the week:

Poem: 

 

"To  see a world in a grain of 

 sand  And heaven in a wild  flower,

 Hold infinity in the palm of your

  hand and eternity in an hour"

  

   -William Blake
