Today, well actually it was about 4pm this afternoon, i got motivated to finally sand it back and repaint it. I also decided to make a cushion and a cushion cover to tie it to the newly painted chair!
This is the end result, quite cute (no way near perfect!) for a couple of hours of my time!
Here is the next project on my list, i have had this cradle since before christmas. I picked it up from an op shop (ich liebe op shops!!) for $7 which i thought was better than the $70 i saw a really cute dolls cradle for in the toy shop! Hopefully i will get to this one too in the next couple of weeks. Any ideas or suggestions let me know :-) ...and yes the dog and butterfly will def be going!
wow...wat can i find for you to restore xxxx love you your amazing xxxx

ReplyDeleteHey lou, when i saw the pic of your cot, it reminded me of this set i saw awhile ago. I don't know if its your taste, but i loved the effect! http://www.marthastewart.com/article/decoupage-ideas-for-the-nursery?autonomy_kw=nursery%20furniture&rsc=header_3
