Pretty and Colorful

Hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Today I'm enjoying being at home and photographing some new finds to share with you all. 
I found this huge basket at the thrift store just before Christmas and instantly thought of a million things to put in it. I was cleaning out the spare room wardrobe today and found a yo yo quilt my nana made years ago. Lots of color and such gorgeous vintage fabrics.  









I painted up this bistro setting all ready for a beachside balcony. 






Hope your all enjoying your Christmas New Year Break.

White Farmhouse Table

I just can't get enough of these old farmhouse tables. This one was originally a light pine and often I try and keep the tops unpainted. But today it went all white and I'm so pleased with the look.
I painted the chairs to match and upholstered the seats in a blue and white ticking. 



Gorgeous wide timber panels on top. 







Front drawer for storing your cutlery and napkins.

French Console

Time is getting away as you would all know and Christmas is just around the corner. Today I spent the day doing my final deliveries of painted furniture for some lovely customers.  I have been painting like you wouldn't believe and trying to keep ahead of the demand for this time of the year. 
I bought this lovely piece up into the house to photograph and somehow I think it might stay there for a little while. When I purchased this piece it was purple and gold. If only the previous owner could see it now.  



I have started collecting vintage clocks and this is my latest find. 

Discarded old mantle off a dresser gets a new lease of life.


I re-covered these lamps only to realize that I had the pattern up the wrong way on one of them for those of you that noticed.   





Hope your all surviving the silly season and remember that the Woolloongabba Antique Centre is open late tomorrow night for Christmas trading. 
I also wanted to let the locals know that I have a divine french king single timber bed that is available to purchase. The bed is all white with lovely french appliques and would make a great Christmas present if anyone is looking. It also comes with a matching bedside. Email me here if your interested.

Turquoise Cupboard & Family Pics

I've been wanting to paint something turquoise for a while now, so here is a cute little gentleman's wardrobe that I finished yesterday. 







Love how this one has very wide drawers which makes for a great storage piece. 




Christmas work party spent at Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast. 
The gardens at the Resort are amazing. 

Kids had a great time.
