This weeks Project

An old set of little tables! from 1970's
£20.50 from good old ebay
They have a few Marks on the top and the woods to dark for my liking
but they are excellent quality, a lovely shape & solid mahogany,
so i'll have a go at re-inventing them shabby chic style in time for Nottingham Vintage fair!
You'll need 
tables :)
sandpaper
paint brush
paint
Most people would use eggshell but i like to use emulsion as its not so strong smelling, its cheaper, more eco, better colour choice, easier to wash my brushes and allows me to build up the depth of colour and easier to sand for a distressed look - but you'll need beeswax or varnish as well if using emulsion
i'll explain it all in my next blog!
