and now it's in your house

Because I'm meant to be doing some other work this morning and feeling a bit unmotivated, so I thought I'd share some customers' photos of where my furniture ended up. I'm productive like that...

Actually it's more that I worked till midnight last night and I need my brain to take a break and tick a few other things off my list before getting stuck back into it again. 

Anyway onto some pretty things. Michelle sent me a photo of her hallway. She bought a French provincial sideboard from me that I'd painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Old White and left the top timber. I love how Michelle has styled her hallway. What a warm welcome it is. It would make me breathe a sigh of relief, kick of my shoes and drop my bags and feel right at home when I open the door. When she came and picked up the sideboard  she said she loved our house and asked me the wall colour. She has since painted her walls in the same colour we used. (It's Dulux Sleigh and I think it's a lovely neutral.)

and this was how I photographed it to sell it.

Brenda from Melbourne bought the beautiful Duck Egg Blue coffee table. One of her friend's son was moving to Melbourne so we shipped the coffee table down with his belongings. I love it next to her navy lounge. I'm glad it arrived in one piece. I hate shipping furniture to be honest.

Here is the coffee table all painted and ready for selling at my house.

Marney was one of my first customers and bought this cabinet I painted white with limed white details. Click here to see the before photos. Paint is magical.
I get such a thrill seeing how people use my painted furniture. It's nice to make something functional that is then a statement special piece on people's homes. I got a lovely message from Marney yesterday about how she has watched my furniture painting skills grow over the years. It's nice to know that I have support and loyal customers. I really appreciate it. 

Chloe sent me a photo of her hallway with the little French Linen Fleur de Lis cupboard in it. I love French Linen - such a soft dark colour. Aren't Chloe's candlesticks beautiful!

Birdie bought one of my French upholstered armchairs and her cat is loving it!

and Jennifer sent a photo of her lounge room now filled with my cushions.

Thanks everyone for sending me these photos.

I was asked yesterday how I can part with my work. I usually don't mind as I know I can always do another piece for myself down the track if I want it. It's also made easier by knowing that someone else is treasuring it.

now to start work...
