French Provincial Bookcase

What attracted me to this bookcase was its versatility. It already had some beading fitted which meant you could use it for displaying not only books but plates as well. 

I have painted the whole bookcase white of course and then did the back panels in my french grey. 

Bookcase SOLD yesterday. 

Set of Paris stools - SOLD

Lovely wicker basket with a blue and white stripe ticking padded seat. 

Available at the Woolloongabba Antique Centre.  

I will show you some more pieces I have available later today. 

Classic White Armoire and a Peacock Chair

I wanted this Armoire to be simple and classic so went for a crisp white. No need to dress it up just lots of sanding and it speaks for itself. 

Nice large drawer freshly painted inside. 

Peacock chairs I just love them. This is my latest find, doesn't it have amazing style.
I have come across only a few in my times of thrifting but nothing as elegant as this one. The owner brought it into Australia some 40 years ago after moving here from Asia.  She moved house left it at her sister inlaws who no longer had the room for it. Lucky me!!

Sorry peacock chair is not for sale but the Armoire is.

Dining Table Makeover

With a break in the weather and the sun deciding to shine on Queensland yesterday  I was painting from morning till late trying to get pieces finished. 

Dining table and six chairs all done. The table has been painted in milk paint and white washed on top. I am so pleased with the final look I could have kept this setting. 

The six chairs have a beautiful twisted timber design and the seat pads I have covered in linen. 

Table and Chairs have SOLD already.
