China cabinet makeover.

I got this cabinet a few months ago from EBay, it has been driving my husband crazy as its just so ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb. So I've decided to finally give it some love with a luck of white chalk paint... Annie Sloan's Pure white.

Finished pictures to follow.

Dining room In 50 shades of French grey

This room was crying out for a change and looked so tired and felt so un-creative.

This is the hub of the house and it really gets abused. The table seats 8 plus and is in constant use.

Our studio has also been relocated here and can get very dusty and messy especially the vinyl.

It's where I get creative and in desperate need for a tough inspirational new design. More pictures to follow.

























Treasured desk gets Annie sloan makeover

I've been patiently waiting to decorate our dining room, so this week I've been enjoying painting the walls.

Today I started on my desk, I will finish it tomorrow. I chose Annie Sloan Paris Grey, a change from my lovely French Linen.

I might have to repaint the grey walls as the Farrow & Ball Pavilion Gray looks a bit pale against it, I think Manor House Gray will look stronger, more moody.





New floor
