My latest, among several on the go at the moment, is this glass/mirror cabinet. My Mum gasped when I told her I had painted it - she has one exactly the same - and being an old piece is of the belief it has ruined the 'antiqueish' look of it!! I Love it.....
(sorry not the clearest photo) This is before....
And now....
Ran out of paint to do the inside!!! And couldnt wait to put up this post..so will finish when I purchase more - promise!
I also have a couple of new purchases that I think finish off the piece
These gorgeous artichoke bookends, heart and bird I bought on ebay..
Hi Rebecca
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely message. I absolutely love what you have done with this piece, in the before shot i didnt notice the beautiful edging on the front doors however after your makeover its so much more noticeable.Look forward to seeing your other projects.

Love it Bec well done!! I also love artichokes! See you Friday night. x
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca, has your mum seen the after shots? I think it looks fantastic and I love the turqoise/blue plates etc inside and all the other bits and pieces you have used. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHey Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteHope you are over your cold. Nothing like a warm blanket to make you feel snug and warm. I call mine my 'magic blanket' because every time I have it over me I fall asleep - Magic! Love the transformation of your cabinet! Beautifully styled too!

Hi Rebecca, wow - it looks amazing, you have definitely brought that cabinet into this century! I absolutely love the bird you purchased on ebay - am about to go and put it into search criteria to find one for myself. I have a few birds around the house but none in black. Michelle
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca,when in doubt paint it white and look at how fantastic the result is!.Your mum's gotta love it..Great job.xx
ReplyDeleteI love the after! It looks wonderful and you should be very proud! I need to find that bird!! Katie Bird is my nickname (hence the blog name) and I have randomly placed birds all over my house. Nicely done with the Ebay find!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely prefer the after! So fresh and modern. Lovely. x
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca. I can totally relate to the paint obsession. I have a few pieces lined up here waiting for a makeover. I just need the weather to warm up a bit so the paint will dry!
ReplyDeleteYour cabinet looks amazing! So lovely and fresh. Well done :)
Katie
I especially love how you dressed it up with your lovely things, just a hint of colour, nicely done...I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great and will be even better once the inside part is painted too. There are so many great ideas out there in blogland, it's a bit overwhelming at times :) Thanks for all the lovely comments you've been leaving at my blog lately, they really make my day x
ReplyDeleteJust popping by again to say thank you for your lovely & kind comment about my daughter moving, its amazing the wonderful friends I am making thru blogging & your support is certainly appreciated. Good luck with boot camp, I hope I can help you stay inspired on your journey!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Hi Rebecca - I'm just stopping by to say thank you so much for being my very first "follower!" It's amazing that you're in another country, and yet when I went through your blog, we have had very similar experiences (I have some furniture from my grandmother that MY mom has expressly forbade me from painting!). Thanks again!
