Hey Guys,
I feel like we've done a heap in our lounge room update and I realised I haven't shared any of it. As is always the case we've had some hits and some misses. First hit was my TV console.
I scored this freebie from my Mum's place, it's my favourite place to shop...always free!
I just wish I had of taken pictures before Jule's put the electrics in, the cords are in the wall so no chance of me taking them out for photographic purposes.
DIY Delight or disaster? Given my recent chalk paint fails this one came up great. Side note, Mum was horrified when I told her I was painting it, too late for her it was already here. She came around and looked at it, and said, "Oh I have a chest of draws that needs painting would you do it?". That my friends was just about the highest compliment ever. Mum's place is full of expensive, pray to God the kids don't touch, item. So me painting something for their place, pretty huge!
Then a week later she was out looking for some bedroom furniture and she said they had one painted in the same style (Chalk Paint slightly distressed) and they wanted $1200 for a bedside table. Looked just like what I had done, seriously it takes a lot to impress Mum so this is a Delight!
Thanks for reading,
Mel xo

What a great transformation Mel! It always amazes me what a coat of paint can do, and it sounds like you've converted your mum to loving painted furniture now too. That's so awesome!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Mel and I'm so glad this one won your Mum over. Can't wait to see what else you've been up too.
ReplyDeleteTurned out just beautiful, Mel. What could be better than a mother's approval? And a new client, to boot!!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I ever got my mom's approval on decorating, so you are light years ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you got your mum's approval.
ReplyDeleteIt does look pretty. Delight. :)
What a beautiful transformation. I love it white. Glad, once your mom saw it she agreed it looked great and is now enlisting you to paint things for her...enjoy the compliment! And, keep on painting :)
ReplyDeleteI love shopping at my parents! Best deals around. :) I always steal quilt bat from my Mom. This turned out great and isn't it nice that your Mum loved it.
ReplyDeleteCertainly a delight indeed! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks GREAT Mel! I like the white much better. My MIL loves the oak wood tones.. I don't think she will come around to the painted furniture.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Mel - GREAT job !!!
