You may remember a while ago I posted about a few of my up-and-coming projects. Well, here is the pine dresser that my sister bought for £20 from our wonderful local bootfair in Cheltenham. She even managed to get £5 knocked off after being brave and haggling.
So it started off like this. Again, nice enough but not really fitting with my sister's kitchen. I had to give it a good scrub with a decent scourer and a large squirt of Cif, as it was extremely greasy.
After a few coats of Annie Sloane Paris Grey paint, a rub down with fine sandpaper and a coat of dark beeswax, it started to look a little more presentable.
And here it is, pride of place on the kitchen wall. Perfect for my sister's Victorian tea, which was incidentally, £7 from the same bootfair. What a day of bargains!
