Happy New year! I had a break from all thing's restoration over the last couple of months but I started off the New year with making a little rimu floating shelf to go in my kitchen. It's my first time doing anything like this so its not perfect but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. 😊

Solid pine bedside tables after a fair bit of sanding, filling, painting and polyurethaning to make them look pretty again. This is from a matching set but the other one is still getting work done, and it will be ready in a week. I will be selling these once the other one is ready. 🙂

I'll only paint furniture if it needs painting, I hate painting over beautiful wood but these are not wood as such and as you can see by the photos, these definitely needed some paint. Alot of repair work to get them to the prettying up stage. ❤️

It's taken a few months but I've sold this beautiful thing. I wanted to keep it or give it to one of my children but space, and practicality wouldn't allow. I'm so sad actually because out of all the pieces I have refinished, this has a piece of my heart. I'm bee's waxing and putting drawer linings in it at the moment to get it ready for it's new owner and I'm gutted, lol.

I forgot to add a photo of the other piece of the set that I finished. Night time photos so a bit darker than the actual colour. I sold this set for $250 to a lovely lady in Rotorua. 😊

I prefer to bring back the beauty of old furniture by leaving the wood on show, where possible. But I love painted piece's as well and this old girl has a pressed wood substrate, laminate/ formica over the top and was in bad condition, so I had no choice but to paint it. She is one of two, and I'll paint the other one the same. 🙂 The top colour is wool coat and the bottom is a mix of hand spun wool and a darker green that unfortunately has lost its name. All valspar colours.

In life, something small and insignificant for some, can be huge and amazing for other's. This old and dusty shed holds magic for me, full of treasures and nearly everything I need to bring life back to the forgotten and discarded. ❤️
