Yay, have finished my latest recycled furniture project and am quite thrilled with the outcome. i had a bit of an obsession with it for awhile (it being painting furniture). here's a few of the pieces i've painted in the past.
now, i can't take credit for this idea even though i would REALLY like to. the idea came from this wonderful woman/artist's blog that I follow, you can see it here.
and I think her's looks better than mine. i think it is the paler
coloured papers that she has used, and i kinda wished i'd used paler colours. anyway am still very happy
with my unique piece of furniture.
this is the ugliness of how the cupboard started out ...
then I used ESP on it and then painted it a cream colour ....
cut up a heap of scrapbooking paper and glued them on using Mod Podge Hard Coat ...
... and here it is again in all its gloriousness
and a bit of a close up ...
it really is an easy project, and surprising quick to do. give it a go. you'll enjoy the process and the blissful outcome. really.
this looks amazing! So inspiring! Love your blog too! Shae xo
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Shae. x
DeleteIt looks like a totally different piece of furniture! You've done a great job. You must have a lot of patience... I have gone into furniture reno's with great gusto but don't tend to finish them off! ooops. Have you ever tried to sell one of your revamps? I think you could!

Hi Jo .... I once had a a grand idea to distress and sell furniture, then I started painting again, so the furniture business went out the door very quickly. But it was great to do this piece as it has been a few years. x
