Atomic Blue Drawers

The other day I went to pick up a chest of drawers I bought on eBay and the lady selling them also gave me a sweet old atomic chest of drawers. Thanks Bronwyn!  They were in pretty bad shape with a mix of yellow and white paint and one drawer was broken. I fixed the drawer and decided to give the drawers a shot of peacock blue.

 I love this little vintage wooden teddy and tin. 

My boy keeps these on his bedside table.

This is a close up on the painting. A tiny colourful print of Sydney Harbour. Close friends gave this to us for our wedding.

The drawers are for sale.

And before:

Thanks for all your well wishes for my daughter's surgery and recovery. She's still got a little sore throat but is feeling much better. She says it much easier to breathe and she's been sleeping through the night. 

She and my boy have decided they want to share a bedroom again.  As her bedroom was right in the middle of our house and the window actually looks into our lounge room (from a long ago extension) and it's noisy I think it's a good idea. Her old room has become the toy room once more and they are in together in his room which is a lovely big room.  While swapping the rooms over I've managed to sort through and cull a lot of toys. I'm also taking the opportunity to paint her chest of drawers. I'll post photos soon.  I am looking forward to renovating the back half of our house and getting them their own rooms when we build an upstairs.  Our aim is to get plans into council this year.

Cheers

Fiona
