Upcycled Commission Piece

Last week I was happily working on a commission piece and

In the words of my client 'An orange pine dining

farmhouse table and chairs' in need of an

update!

Stay tuned folks I will be posting after pictures

soon.

Upcycled Farmhouse Table and Chairs.

I'm hoping you all enjoy colour as much as I do!

As I find it, each colour that we are drawn to for our home says something personal about us as individuals and

how we feel, I do believe colour should always create harmony

in our lives and in our homes when making decisions on

your own colour preferences I would say always go with how

they make you feel, One doesn't have to go along with the

latest trends but having said that its great to be inspired by the wonderful designs around! Remembering its all about you expressing yourself as an individual.

In colour psychology turquoise helps to open

lines of communication, so its a great choice for

your dining table! Plenty of conversations!

Turquoise particularly opens lines of communication

between the heart and the spoken word, it is a friendly

and happy colour enjoying life - and shouldn't

mealtimes be the perfect time to enjoy our friends

and families. Turquoise can help to radiate emotional

balance and a sense of calm, it is a great colour to

have around you.

So go ahead and invite some colour into your home.

With my latest Upcycle I decided to use the

ever popular Autentico chalk paint in 'Antique turquoise'

and to achieve that used shabby but 'chic' farmhouse style

I have distressed it and then varnished the table top.

Inspired always by nature - my choice of textiles

for the chairs was easy,I found this gorgeous French

fabric with refreshing botanics and floral's which

I feel compliment the turquoise table beautifully.

A charming dining set fit for either your kitchen,

dining area or conservatory.

Upcycling: Dining set with four chairs

Chairs and more chairs! my next project is under way. I'm going with

the country farmhouse feel a little shabby look but can promise stylish chic dining chairs.

Upcycled and repurposed.

Upcycling: Vintage Desk

With the table top of the desk I have decoupaged with a natural rustic paper, pretty cool design that worked out really well with the rustic style I was going for, with it's gold tones and a little added gold leaf. The Drawer pulls also have gold leaf for a little added sparkle.

Chic not too shabby.

I'm a sucker for these rare antique finds

this type of desk always proves so popular which is why I was horrified to discover it was heading for the dump! No no we really cannot have that! Can we just appreciate the superb craftsmanship, All solid pine and dovetail joints and still all in perfectly good working order! some minor imperfections that you would expect from a vintage item that has been used over the years but this only adds to its charm and character and after all isn't that why we love them.

It gives me such pleasure to upcycle this piece of furniture and happy to know we can help to keep these vintage

items in circulation to be appreciated in a lovely home once again.

I went with 'Period Colours ' I decided to

go with the lush flagon paint in eggshell from Classic Crown beautiful smooth gentle green.
