Upcycling frenzy

Phew, one minute sipping coffee, the next attacking and upcycling a useful but ugly table in my conservatory. The table is one of my latest bargainous finds and is exactly the right size and folds away like a dream, but it isn't going to win any designer furniture prizes any time soon...yet!

Sherrey and I love upcycling furniture finds and giving tired old pieces a new lease of life while creating a totally personal look.
This morning's project was a duck-yellow pine table that does not suit my colour scheme. After a bit of elbow grease it is now ready for painting with the final colour and I'm planning to try a new pot of light grey paint to rock the distressed French chateau-chic look. I promise to post photos of the end result in a couple of days together with a step by step so you can try this out at home.



Sherrey and I are also planning an upcycling furniture workshop to show and share with you a few of our tricks and tips. Watch this space as we will be unveiling our Autumn workshop programme soon.
Best
Annie
