A Rainy Day, Some White Paint And A Jute Garland.

Greetings all :)
 It's been a rainy few days in this neck of the woods, muddy shoes, stir crazy picket fence children and never ending piles of wet washing have nearly done my head in, but, I did achieve some much needed jobs around the house, reshuffled some paperwork and caught up on some day-time television.....fun times ;)

On the upside, I finally painted an Edwardian dresser in my bedroom. It's had flaking varnish for what seems like forever and deserves to be stripped and oiled...that  WILL happen one day...but for now, I suddenly realised the "I must do that one day" moment, was here.

Here's the rather ugly before picture. See how shabby it looks ! ( I admit ,I may have just lifted the whole darn lot of letters, flyer's, children's artwork and hairbrushes sitting on top and shoved into one of the little cupboards below.... hey presto ; it's still shabby but at least it's tidy ;) well kind of , anyway ... )

 I started with the paint, again Dulux Antique White USA.... I'm a big believer in painting insitu.... Mr Picket Fence is so used to this he didn't even notice the work in progress !

 Let me digress :) See these little sweeties.....aren't they lovely? Crocheted out of jute, a garland of twine they are just my kind of thing and part of the reason why I painted the dresser white....sigh...

 More string porn ;) forgive me.

 And here is the finished product :) So much nicer than flaky old varnish , and not a bad effort for a rainy day on the South Coast.
 Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you drop me a line as I love your comments ....let me know what you think, and....welcome to my new followers :) My followers really are the nicest bunch of people in blog land, of that I'm sure. Catch up with you soon, ( hopefully in sunshine!)
