Remember the bedside table. I showed you before.
This was how it started.
And this is it finished.
I love the new handle.
I was going to put floral paper on the shelf. But decided it did not need it.
After painting and waxing I sanded back a few parts.To age it a little.
Then gave it a final wax.
I have also finished a pine t.v. cabinet. (Sorry forgot to take a before picture).
But this one was just orange pine. You know the sort.
First I painted it all over blue then added some pink details.
Then I waxed it with clear wax.
Then I sanded it all back to age it or as some would say shabby chic it.
I think it looks great now.
After I sanded it back I finished with a last coat of clear wax.
Because the weather has been so beautiful I have put up my small gazebo and set up
tables outside to paint on.
What could be better than working in the sun.
Superb upcyclling job!

Have started painting a glass display unit but it is so fiddly. My daughter is home for Easter and has now bought a couple of pieces for her flat and now she is painting them white. We have the painting bug here! Lovely and sunny here so lots of dog walks and need to do some tidying up at the stables.... So much pleasent in the sun. Hope you are having a good week.
