Wall mounted kitchen plate rack with cup hooks

 This gorgeous unit is in my tiny kitchen now....over the moon when I bought it last Sunday on the car boot sale for £4 ! it was done the same day ! (I couldn't wait to see it on my kitchen wall ;-)
So first I've used 180 sanding paper and sanded down a bit but I didn't tried to remove the old varnish completely.
Then I applied iron wool and vinegar mixture and waited till completely dry.
At the end I painted the unit with white paint I would say: messily :-)---> in a messy way because I knew I would sand it down again to reach the vintage, distressed effect....seen as above :-)

pine side table makeover

top of the table: lace curtain + white paint in spray :-) so easy !

the story of my fireplace.....

3 x stone tiles, old planks, new planks, 2 x wooden ornaments, clear & dark wax

we placed 1 large stone tile on each side / on the back and the bottom:  pine planks

on the front: 3 different sizes old planks (each side) glued together 

dark wax applied on the planks (and dry brushing on the edges of the front planks using white paint)

wooden ornaments painted white and waxed with clear and dark wax

a little makeover of a coffee table :-)

It does look "little" but believe me it needed a lot of work ;-)

coffee table

this was the colour before the transformation ;-/

The top has been sanded and painted with 

"white ash" varnish to give the effect of white wood.

The black & white design is a paper I've bought in a local hobby craft shop:

 glued with PVA & varnished

 ...after a while decided to add a little something...

 matching tray and the coasters...
