Finished this little dressing table at last 😂 had been on the back burner for a while, even though I desperately needed it for storage. Used Hornblower from the Frenchic Lazy Range which is a fabulous rich blue (the photos don’t really do the colour justice) gave it a touch of gold detailing and a little bit of TLC to the drawers. So wanted to change the handles but they had marked the wood too badly so after a soak in Tomato Ketchup (I dread to think what it does to our stomachs) 😯 they have cleaned up beautifully and been given a new lease of life. Looking forward to transforming the rest of the bedroom now, to give it an identity and bring it to life! Oh and on the hunt for a mirror now so will have to hit the junk shops. Call me crazy but I think this little piece looks like it might have a cheeky little smile 😊 maybe it’s just happy to have been saved from the dump. #upcycledfurniture #nofilter #repairandrepurpose #newleaseoflife #lovetodecorate #newhousenewhome #makingahouseahome #needtogetmymojoback #oldtonew https://www.instagram.com/p/B04VfkonaTj/?igshid=h65q28psaf2h

Started stripping this little rocker this week and today its having a bit of TLC and frame repair. The best bit is I’ve got two but I think the others frame is in slightly better condition! And Dexter dog making sure we make a proper job of it 😉 #chairsofinstagram #chairaddict #breathingnewlifeintooldtreasures #whodoesntlovearockingchair #repurposedfurniture #upcycledfurniture #dogsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJJGVpHTag/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vtyudv1rz019
