*~* KITCHEN MAKE-OVER COMPLETE*~*

As usual room make-overs always start small and well they just kinda get bigger and bigger.. I got these 2 fab chairs from my local junk shop for a staggering £5.. I just couldn't go home without them LOL.. Let the fun begin.. A few coats of paint and some new fabric for the seats..

It had started.. I gave the walls a clean coat of emulsion in a slightly darker shade.. Then moved quickly onto painting my kitchen cupboards before I changed my mind.. I have been considering this for a while and have done lots of research on the kind of paint to use.. It was a big big task with some 4 coats of painting to do..

With work I did it bitesize chunks..

I was thrilled with the results..

I lastly painted the base of my old kitchen table to complete the look and made a simple pelmet for the window.. The sun streams in here in the morning so I didn't want the distract from that..

I would defenaitly say this is not a job for the faint hearted and I have put my brushes away for a while LOL..

I love the way eveything has turned out.. My kitchen seems a whole lot lighter and brighter.. Giving myself a rest from painting for a couple of weeks but as usual I have another project at the planning stage... Hope you have enjoyed my make-over.. Thanx for popping by and feel free to leave a comment.. Love hearing from you all.. X

BEDROOM MAKE-OVER "ROMANTIC PRAIRIE"

*~* "ROMANTIC PRAIRIE" MY BEDROOM MAKE-OVER*~*

I wanted to share with you my most recent make-over.. Like I have said before my style is changing to a more simple faded look.. I still have my old furniture and some prim goods which all seem to blend with my new simple style.. I would love to do my whole house at once but as usual money and time pulls on my reigns LOL.. I have been planning my bedroom for a while and making and collecting over the past few weeks.. A long weekend off from my day job enabled me the time and energy to complete my ROMANTIC PRAIRIE style bedroom..

I love the white natural look it is so crisp and clean looking but didn't want it to look too bland wishy washy and cold so I chose red as my accent colour and wow it just makes all the difference.. I do hope you enjoy my pics..

 

I would also like to share a couple of pics of the ATTIC BEARS I have available on ebay this week.. Just click on my ebay link on the side-bar to see more pics..

Finally Spring seems to be in the air and it so makes me want to brush out the dust and spruce up my home LOL.. Well paint brushes at the ready I am off to the kitchen next.. *~*blessings to all*~*

A couple of make overs and some Easter decor

*~*SPRING MAKEOVERS AND EASTER DECOR*~*

Amazingly we had a couple of days with bright sunshine in between the snow showers.. It makes you feel so good and also makes you take a good look around your home..I have had a few ideas over the past month or so that were just waiting to be put to work.. With my new Farmhouse Romantic Prairie look I have been wanting to lighten and brighten some of my furniture too.. I went out to the home decor shop and bought the paint firstly for the stairs to my craft room.. I had seen the most perfect thing on pinterest and set to work.. It only took me a few evenings to acheive the look I wanted.. Now it is a total pleasure to walk up those stairs to my craft room to create..It is difficult to get a good pic as these stairs are quite tight..

Next I moved to the kitchen.. The off white paint just goes perfect with the pale wooden top and has made such a difference to my kitchen..I resisted the temptation to rub it back on the corners and just love it.. So simple..

Then it was on to the dining room.. This cupboard holds lots of stuff for the dining room and is the perfect place for a great display.. It was all just wood to start with and seemed to disapear into the wooden floor now it seems to pop.. Added some new handles too..

 

I have been wanting to bring out some Spring Easter decor and firstly purchased some wooden eggs which I painted in pastel colours then sanded and waxed them which gives them a worn vintage look..They look great in an old sieve..

Love this little guy..

A simple display on my kitchen window with a ceramic bunny..

Love these sweet vintage rabbit molds too.. Perfect on my kitchen bench..

Finally my simple tree with wax eggs and wax bunny..

Just wanted to share these ATTIC BEARS.. Both on ebay this week..

Hope you have enjoyed my makeovers and Easter pics..
