Green Buoy......oh boy!!!

Yep, painted the set of drawers today and got the kids to work on their own project so the top coat was a little smoother.

Obviously no handles yet....but do you think I could wait to show off my "Pop" of colour in the bedroom.  Will work on the handles next week.

I only used such a tiny smidgen of the Green Buoy (turquoise or teal) paint and it just dawned on me that is suits the colour of the lounge decor....WAHOOOOO!!!

This is what the kids painted....well one thing anyway...they painted about 10 other bits of scrap wood and an old pot, basically any old thing they could find.

We made the doghouse a few weeks ago and while it may not be a masterpiece of workmanship...I did it the best I could and it is cutesy....just need to sand the front of the roof back.

Hope you had a good weekend!

Secondhand Sideboard redoux

I found this silky oak sideboard or set of drawers this week at the secondhand shop for a good price.  It will fit perfectly into the corner of our room and help out with storage...perhaps it is my keenness to find vintage things,......but my closet just seems to be a lot fuller these days!  The set of drawers came with no knobs, but that is good, they probably would have been quite yucky and old.....so that leaves the design completely up to me.

So here it is in progress......I sanded it this afternoon and the kids and I painted it...I know "SCARY thought", but they were very keen to paint so I let them do the back and sides and then I just went over it.....I then moved the kidlets onto offcuts of wood to paint and an old pot.

This is the undercoat we did this afternoon.....guess what colour I plan to paint it tomorrow????????

Anyone guessed my favourite colour of the moment yet??

Stay tuned.............
