So, there's cool vintage and then there's not so cool vintage, right? Well, when I first saw this deco vanity it definitely sat in the latter category though just needed a little nudge to bump it to the former. It came to me for the bargain price of $0 - really, the...
I found this cute little cupboard in the gutter. Needless to say within a few minutes it had magically teleported itself to the back of my car. I knew that with a little love someone would eventually prefer this little guy inside their home so got to work painting the...
I figured this little blog was in need of a fresh 'afters' injection following all the 'befores' ugliness of my master bedroom in progress posts - it's slowly getting there though and I promise lots of (hopefully lovely) after shots to redeem myself. Anyway, in...

This is one of my favourite transformations so far. Sure, it's not very fancy and won't blow your mind though I just adore the unpretentious lines and character-filled patina of this piece. Here's the table before, looking very lonely and feeling sorry...
