I didnt even get to advertise this dining set properly and its gone to its new home 😀
This was a very dark cherry wood colour stain circa 1980's. Painted in Frenchic Paint Cool Beans from the Alfresco range, with the top washed with a 50/50 mix of Funky Dora and water, applied with a blending brush.
Seat pads have been recovered with a linen and grey bumblebee print fabric purchased locally from Hellerslea LTD ❤️

To give you an idea of what to expect from my next venture........

Coming Soon – Calbourne Cottage

A unique emporium-style home and gift shop, bringing together a carefully curated collection of home décor, artisan crafts, artwork, gifts, and vintage treasures.

Clare, an official Frenchic Paint stockist, will offer a wide range of Frenchic products, along with everything you need for furniture upcycling and home decorating projects. She will also showcase her own beautifully upcycled bespoke furniture, alongside a selection of new, vintage, and retro homewares.

Venita, a talented local artist, will be presenting her original artwork, fine art prints, handcrafted sea glass creations, and unique decoupage homeware pieces.

Joining them will be a wonderful collection of independent traders and local makers, offering an ever-changing range of handcrafted gifts and home accessories.

Discover handmade soy wax candles and melts in a variety of fragrances, artisan jewellery, stylish accessories, gardenalia, vintage glassware, and many other carefully selected gifts to suit every taste and occasion.

Whether you're looking for inspiration for your home, a unique gift, or a one-of-a-kind treasure, Calbourne Cottage promises a welcoming shopping experience celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and independent businesses.

Opening soon – we look forward to welcoming you.

This was a 6 step process to get this little stool from cow print to vintage cottage core. I absolutely love it 😍

Step 1: Clean with sugar soap
Step 2: Scuff sand with 120 grit paper
Step 3: 1 coat of Frenchic Paint Lady Grey from the Original Artisan Range. Leave to dry for 2 hours.
Step 4: 2 coats of Ivory Tower from the Original Artisan Range. Applied with a stiff brush to create texture. Allow to dry for 2 hours.
Step 5: Re sand to bring out some of the Lady Grey, for a distressed look.
Step 6: Apply Frenchic Browning Wax, using a stencil brush and cotton cloth. Wipe off and buff with a clean cotton cloth.

You will find this as part of the display when I move to Calbourne Cottage at The Water Mill, Calbourne ❤️

Wow 😍
