Christmas 2009 I asked Mr if I could give eBay a whirl! So with $100 to my name a-shopping I did go. I love homemaking and thought I might find some 'new' items for our home. I figured that as long as it was solid timber we could always give it a coat of paint and enjoy doing so in the process. So today I thought I might share our practice items.
Down the track we will share more about how we went about painting these but for the moment here is an overview of our some of our furniture refurbishments thus far.
First we gave this Pine timber hutch a new look
Mr added new knobs for a french country look.
This old timber cupboard was originally a blue similar to this. But it was dirty and the paint was flaking off from age. A good sand and a few coats of paint and it was ready for use again.
This pine coffee table had a great shape for refurbishing - excuse the laundry baskets in the background!
Then there was this lovely country cabinet..
And finally, there was this coffee table (which we almost ended up taking to the dump before deciding to give it a coat of paint).
So there you have it! It's now time to go into business and share our journey along the way.
