It had a bit of mold growing on it from the damp atmosphere, so I gave it a clean, painted an undercoat, oh I know it could be classed as a terrible thing to do to an antique ! then painted it with 'China White' eggshell. it looked boring and lacked character, so I added some artists acrylic in blue and painted stripes, and sponging. Then it still looked boring so I made a wee bunting to hang on the eaves. What do you think of it ?? I tried to make it look like an old beach hut, I feel that I have succeeded. It was to go back into the summerhouse, but I love it, so it may go in my study as I need extra storage space for ribbons and buttons and it has a very handy deep drawer inside.

I love it, its very cute and I'm sure it will be put to good use.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a lot of the stuff I did to found or unwanted items of furniture when I lived in the West Indies.
It looks lovely, and yes, I would put it in the study where I could see it every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kella & Jo for the comments.
ReplyDeleteI am going to put it in the study, as you said Jo I could get to see it every day, also it will be useful storage for ribbons and buttons.
It would look good in the summerhouse as well as that's done out in a beach hut theme.
