Vintage Chest of Drawers - £95.00

These beautiful drawers remind me of fluffy skies when the sun breaks through at dawn ☀️

I blended blues to create this look; I painted in a patchwork way with 3 different colours building the colour for depth and texture, then I used a watery pale blue and coated the whole piece twice. I distressed using a damp cloth and finally added depth by using a watercolour technique with the original blues.

The drawers are made from solid wood and all 4 open and close easily.

Really tricky to take a photo of these gorgeous pieces as I don't have a fire place!

Benjamin picked a couple of blues he liked and then said I had free reign 😊
I painted both in Ink Blue then dry brushed using lighter blues that I blended to create depth and highlight the beautiful carvings.

These colours are bang on trend as dulux has chosen a palette of denim blues as its colour of 2017 - and we both love them 💙

I am absolutely over the moon with my beautiful dresser. It is exactly what I was looking for and fits perfectly in my new kitchen 😍 I cannot thank you enough Holly - you have been so patient, understanding and attentive in everything from my initial enquiry to delivery of the dresser. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using your services again! Thank you 😘

I loved painting this coffee table which Joanna asked me to find for her. The pretty shape helped to accentuate the metallic finish which I created by using some fabulous gilding waxes, blending gold and silver together!
Let me know if you have a piece you'd like reloved. 😘

Sam's tired but lovely pine sideboard and bookcase needed updating ready for her new sofa and freshly decorated living room. We had fun choosing colours that complimented each other and we are so pleased that you love them Sam 😘

Welsh Dresser style shelving all finished for Donna!

Donna went for white at first, but then changed to a softer cream which has left a beautiful distressed look when I sanded it.

So pleased you love it 😘

Thanks so much 😘

I've just finished this toy box for Jaime, who wanted something to compliment the dark wood furniture she already has in her living room.

I painted the top and feet with a dark satin varnish, then painted the box with lots of coats of AS old white and hand painted the branch and birds, based on a design we found on Pinterest. I used Polyvine to protect rather than clear wax, as it needs to be able to have the odd knock.

I enjoyed the challenge of hand painting this and am so pleased that Jaime and her little girl love it!

😘
