With this weeks aside, while I keep feathering on, I\u2019ll show you a little more of the fun we are having at our little house over the Christmas break.
\nOur philosophy behind this place is to make do, spend judiciously, relax and be creative. Time to look at some of the old furniture we inherited with the house.
\nTime to do it up or place it on the verge.<\/p>\n
I started painting a little wardrobe inside (white) and outside (loud).
\nThe bloke turned two turned bed ends into a luggage stool.
\nI also asked him to split a dressing table in half to make two bedside tables – a thrilling task for a man with a power saw!<\/p>\n
The little wardrobe is designed to riff off the mohair quilt.
\nI painted free-form rectangles with my old (and very gluggy\/dodgy) artists acrylics – aiming for the feel of disparate \u2018unfashionable\u2019 colours in the quilt.
\nBlack paint pens gave me the defining edge line that I so love and with that the fine detail to stop it looking too messy.
\nSimple stripes with a silver paint pen allowed me to add push some of the colours backward and forward.
\nI love the effect of all of this action against the gorgeously unfashionable pinkish walls.<\/p>\n
