Look what I've found!

Peeking up into our loft recently (where I rarely venture) I found 7 pieces of old furniture that will be getting a makeover.  These were out of sight and out of mind and probably destined not to be used again (you know the scenario, stick it in the loft until we decide what to do with it) but I now find I want to try to renovate, paint and upcycle where I can.  I really can't wait to get started!

Everything is a little dirty and very dusty (they've all been up there for years!) but a little wash down with sugar soap should do the trick.

Here are some ...


I nursed my first child in this chair (with plenty of cushions!) in the early 90's, couldn't part with it so in the loft it went.


My husband had this plant stand and the cupboard and table below when I met him, he used to like a rummage in "antique" shops, they also found their way up to the loft over time.






These items of pine furniture, chest of drawers and 2 bedside cabinets were long forgotten and are a little worse for wear.

There is also a beautiful table still up in the loft that is very rickety but with a little attention, it will be a great piece and a pine headboard and bed are also being painted and upcycled.

These should keep me busy on and off over the summer!
