I love vintage and I love old used stuff! Not sure why? Most people I know like new or modern things, houses etc. I would absolutely love to live in an old cottage with thick walls and a log burner. Though I wouldn't be surprised that quite a few of you who are so generously lending me your time to read this little piece may have both of these things in their life? Lucky you :) I try in my home décor section to bring a bit of cottage feel to my handmade lovelies, like my painted hearts, with a bit of aged look, but its painted effects. I have painted a few pieces of furniture in recent years, and I love doing it, its so therapeutic! Starts out, arghh and finishes of awww! I also buy old picture frames from charity shops and repaint them, you can save loads on doing this, and it fulfils my need for old. Have you ever tried up-cycling anything and been surprised at how good it now looks. If you check out a lot of refurnished furniture shops, you will be surprised at the cost for something similar, no doubt a lot of work has been put in and deserves the price, but you can also TIfY, (try it for yourself). all you need is a small box maybe to practice on, sandpaper, emulsion or chalk paint and some elbow grease. So get to that Charity shop! Have a fab day.. xx
