I love a bit of upcycling, have a look at my other blog www.ilovemyhomeblogspot.co.uk for examples of other items I've salvaged from certain death
I picked up this chair in a sorry state, broken and battered, unloved and unwanted, but so unusual. A corner seat perfect for my hall
Scroll down for the reveal!
and here she is in all her new finery,
mended and refinished and, above all, useful again
next up, two very similar chests of drawers, again bought for a snip but I could see lots of potential and no mending needed which is always a bonus
so, after many coats of paint, wax, distressing etc. here they are
once again, restored and useful - what more could anyone want?
I took a quick mental wander through my home the other day and realised there is virtually nothing that is new, everything was rescued, lovingly restored and unique
I love the fact that I created so much myself, exactly as I wanted it.
What a privilege
