Apart from being glued to the Olympics...I've been transforming these...
Via this...
And this...
To this...
And then this...
With the addition of this little fellow...
And that got me thinking about this...
Which used to be a large mirror before it fell apart...
And is now this...
Oh happy days - Olympics, craft projects, Summer parties and August sunshine - who could ask for more!
Gorgeous renovations sweetie and such a beautiful colour too! hope you are having a happy week :)

Ohhhhhh....what wonderful project! I do love anything pink.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I love your pinboard surrounded by bunting. Beautiful in every way! Em ♥
ReplyDeleteThey look great. I love that gorgeous pink shade. M x
ReplyDeleteYour choice of that softly sophisticated shade of pink really has resulted in wonderful transformations. Color does not need to be saturated or intense to have an impact.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of this Chalk Paint before, and can definitely see its appeal.
Please do keep us posted on your next projects.
Happy August!
Fantastic! I have 10 of those chairs looking for a project...not sure I am up to it yet. LOVE the chalk paint! thanks, Brenda.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour, really delicate.
ReplyDeleteAugust is definitely shaping up well so far!
N-I-C-E, Paula!! Fabulous! I love the bulletin board.....wonderful ticking(?) fabric. I wish the photos were larger. Gotta get me some of that Annie Sloan paint. BTW, are you on Pinterest? You should check it out.

Hi Loi, No i'm not on Pinterest, and I know that I should be! However, I have just this minute joined Facebook as The Hill House Diaires! No idea why - I'm rubbish with technology, but for some reason it's all creeping up on me. I joined Twitter on the spur of the moment recently too - next I'll be ordering a spacesuit!!?

Hi Paula

Love that board ! I've just been glued to the Olympics ....
ReplyDeleteAll gorgeous. Chalk paint is the best. Have you ever tried making your own? xx
ReplyDeleteHi Paula,
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy!!! Love the colour you chose for your chairs and the little cupboard and mirror look pretty as well.
When I was in Stow I nearly bought Annie Sloan paint in a light blue shade. I still regret not taking it with me, but the car was too full already with my vintage finds. Now I have to order it through the internet :-)
Have a lovely evening!

What a clever girl you are. I love the Annie Sloan pale pink paint an inspired choice, especially with that white cupboard and stripy hat boxes. I have been painting walls all week, soon to be getting around to furniture, you have the best ideas.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love the pink chairs and what a lovely memory board. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteAll best,
Phyllis
Hi Paula,
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
How did you have time (or energy) after all of that swimming, diving, running and jumping in the Olympics.
I know I'm exhausted!
The chairs look fab, and have been given a new lease of life. Love the pale pink.
Have a lovely week,
Lizx
