I bought an unusual pine display cabinet with dovetail drawers the other day...the shelves on one side longer than the other for added quirkiness I suppose.
Nicely made and a nice shape with potential for an F&B paint job.
So..... a light sand and a quick test of F&B Lamp Room Gray on the bottom corner to see what it would look
like....et volia....
Three coats later and a final seal with a dirty wax glaze.
Then move into position behind the sofa temporarily and decorate with bits and pieces.
As usual I am tempted to keep everything I buy, however, I think this one will be destined for a Fair eventually as I am fast running out of space.
This pretty, feather eiderdown however is definitely on its way to a Fair this Sunday at Carlisle
Between a single and a double size....54 ins x 64 ins with a pink background and floral bouquet detail.
A peachy pink frill edge and double heart centre.
Nice and clean...from a good home (hmm..... sounds like I am re-homing a dog! )
If anyone is interested beforehand it is £65 plus P&P

Love the shelves, especially once transformed by your fair hands. I would so love to buy the eiderdown, but everyone in our house (apart from me) is fiercely allergic to fur and feather. How inconsiderate of them to ruin my interior decor plans...

I have never seen shelves with draws before but I like it and especially now you have painted it, like you I would find it very hard parting with items :) x
ReplyDeleteI think that set of shelves is definitely a keeper Julie, it looks perfect behind your sofa, and I love the colour.

ReplyDeleteJust adding my admiration of the transformed shelves, I'm sure the eiderdown was sold in a flash.
