The Sofa so far......
I couldn't help myself and I was kind of cajoaled into it by being offered this gorgeous little sofa at a very attractive price, so I relented, gave in and bought her home......
Exceedingly comfortable, if a little tired around the edges ! but what a beautiful shape...
I'm thinking deep purple upholstery with distressed silver framework, or perhaps beautiful soft powder pink velvet and a gold frame ( I have the fourth leg by the way ) that would do it for me or should I go fashionably Scandinavian with whitewashed wood and lovely linen - timeless,
Maybe tell me what you would do..?.........She will be for sale when I had time for a little TLC.
Watch this space.....

Pillars of Stone..........
One of my lovely clients happened to give me a gorgeous little table and chair and so in return I painted this plinth for them, once a dreary dark brown
( beautifully made I might add ) and at the same time I decided to paint this pottery plinth to give it a new lease of life. A stone look was required,


They were delighted with the results, thanks to Autentico chalk paints ( 'Somewhat Grey' at La Rochfoucauld ) and a few tricks and glazes !
As for the little table......................................

Well I haven't decided yet but I might try with a Malachite Finish like I did with this table.... What do you think ?... |
