We have a computer hideaway that we got off eBay a few years ago for £40 (it was originally Ikea and plain pine) - I painted it cream and it looked like this:
It was looking a little worse for wear so I gave it the Annie Sloan treatment - this time using Provence with a wash of Old White ( a little paint mixed with water, paint on and immediately wipe off), lightly distressed & then clear wax. I then changed the fabric behind the glass:
I love it!! I was a little "Wooooo it's a bit bright" before the wash of white but it looks really nice now.
We've had a really busy day today sorting out H & W's room and collecting a high sleeper. Tomorrow we have wardrobes to collect for the boys room and then a sideboard in the afternoon that will go next to the computer hideaway above.
So, lots more future painting opportunities!!
Have a lovely weekend!!

What a great effect! Awesome job, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Another success! The colour is lovely and I really like the fabric you've used behind the glass. Looking forward to seeing the new bits and pieces.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty heart there too - did you make that?

That is lovely.
ReplyDeleteStrong work! Looks wonderful! I saw your picture of it on "Shades of Amber". I wanted to leave a comment there too, but have nothing to show for it...yet. I just found a place here in the deep south, USA that carries ASCP!
ReplyDeleteThanks for listening (reading) I was "busting" to tell somebody!!
