All Change

Wednesday is stock change and delivery day for us. With two dressers to take out of our bay at Lifestyle (Hitchin) for delivery, we were replacing these with two more, plus a few smaller items.

Dodging the showers, we managed to do the swap over within an hour or two, and I found time to pop into our local Farrow & Ball stockist for a tin of Estate eggshell in a neutral shade called Archive. I like to alternate between primary colours and neutral shades, and thought this would make a distinct change from the Antibes Green dresser Ive been working on for the past week.


We did one delivery this afternoon and have one to do tomorrow to a local Care Home, but more of that story tomorrow.....

With the football season in full swing, I'm happy to spend match time of an evening working on smaller projects and trying something a bit different, while hubby coaches the teams from his armchair.

These metal drawers were given the industrial treatment during last night's match thanks to some numerals from Shabby Chic Stencils. The drawer fronts were first sprayed with PlastiKote Chrome Project Enamel, the numbers stencilled with Annie Sloan Graphite, and then, when dry, I sprayed all the drawer fronts with CarPlan Crystal Clear Lacquer to seal. I decided to leave the outer body in the original black as a contrast.  These will go into our bay and it remains to be seen if Hitchin is ready for the Industrial Look yet!
