Ad | Lets get these chairs summer ready

I hosed the chairs down and brushed on a wood reviver before giving them a gentle scrub to lift the greying wood

After a gentle sand I refinished the wood in a teak oil to bring out the beautiful grain.

The space was still looking a little sad so we decided on some Corston Architectural Detail Ealing Path Spotlights in a Bronze finish

The perfect addition for world upcycling day, arriving in their completely plastic free packaging.

The Ealing Path Spotlight, are built to last and the bronze is infinitely recyclable, the perfect addition for a dreamy summer cottage garden

I love an Adirondack chair but this was one a little battered and bruised.

The old paint was flaking away so I used a jet wash to help remove it.

I then primed the piece with an exterior primer to help protect the wood from rot and bugs before giving it a refreshed look in a soft sage green.

An outdoor rug from Homescapes has helped softened the gravel, it’s not quite a tropical beach but with a few finishing touches of cushions, throws and a fire drum, it’s the perfect spot to toast marshmallows and enjoy the summer evenings

Can You Believe This Mid Century Chair was Free?

It was in great condition for its age so rather than completely reupholster it I decided to test out some fabric paint.

I thoroughly cleaned the seat and cushions first and also stripped back the orange wood stain.

I then sprayed the fabric with water before brushing on the fabric paint, I worked in sections using a brush to keep the fabric soft as it dried.

When I was finished with the fabric I stained and sealed the wood.

Is there anything better than stripping back old paint?

These drawers were covered in a thick white gloss paint. I stripped back the old paint using a paint stripper before giving them a good clean back.

The wood was in great condition so I used a tinted wax to give the piece a beautiful farmhouse look while protecting and nourishing the wood.

Unfortunately the drawers didn’t come with the original hardware but I was able to source a set that fit perfectly

I’d love to know what you think of the stripped back look?

Let’s Strip this Old Dark Finish…

I used a paint and varnish stripper to remove the dark, dated finish on these vintage pine drawers.
Simply brush it on and scrape away 15 minutes later.

I then cleaned up the residue with white spirit before washing the piece back

Once they were dry I gave them a gentle sand before refinishing them with a hardwax oil for the perfect pine farmhouse finish.

What do you think of the new light finish?

Let’s Rescue this Cocktail Cabinet…

I stripped back the old cream paint using a paint and varnish stripper before cleaning up any remaining residue with white spirit and wirewool

Luckily the paint wasn’t hiding any damage to the wood. and I uncovered some beautiful grain!

I decided on a little paint and gold leaf detailing to help frame the grain and make it take centre stage.

I’d love to know what you think of the new look?

Ad | This bedside table was Free!

But free meant it needed some work. I gave it a clean before sanding back to the old finish.

I removed the top drawer front and used the M2 colour printer to add a leaf design.

Every bedside table should have a coaster so I used the print and cut function on M2 to design and print a coaster to protect the bedside top.

There are so many functions on the M2, I was even able to print and cut my own personalised business stamp, so now each piece that gets rediscovered will leave with a stamp of approval.

Let’s Strip It!

I used a paint and varnish stripper to remove all the old blue paint to reveal a beautiful wood grain!

It was then cleaned up to remove any residue and refinished with a tinted raw effect varnish to give it a soft natural look.

I’d love to know what you think of the new farmhouse finish

Ad | I loved this vintage cabinet and at only £5 I knew it would make the perfect apothecary cabinet.

It needed a good clean and then came the fun part

I used the new M2 to print and cut an apothecary header, I was able to cut some stands which I glued to the back so its fully supported.

I also cut out some corner pieces to add to the glass front to soften the piece.

To complete the new look for the cabinet I added some amber glass jars for medicine and was able to use the M2 to engrave the glass on the larger jars

And print and cut paper labels for the smaller jars.

Lets Rescue these Free drawers

I stripped back the layers of old paint

But the feet and details were a little trickier and I hand sanded some of these areas

The wood beneath was beautiful, so I decided on a soft cream green glaze for a more cottage core tone

I finished by top coating them both for a longer lasting finish

Do you think the new farmhouse finish was worth the work?
