Mini~Major Makeover!

Had a bit of a change round in my living/dining room last week...

What started out as a clean up, turned into a major makeover!

 

This was the right side of the chimney...

 

 

 

And this is it now...

New Dresser Top, New Table and New Flowers!

 

 

 

Dresser Top...it fitted into the alcove perfectly!

It's a real heavy beast and is on the wall with 6 long screws!! 

 

 

This was the left side before...

I've painted the Shelf blue and all my Buckets are under the new Table, which is under the new Dresser Top...

 

 

 

This is it now...my old Toys stand out much better against the blue...

The Shelf on the left is new too...

I still need to sort out the School Cupboard, so will add pictures when it's done!

 

 

 

This is a 1950's Rocking Cradle...all handmade. When I got it, the previous owner had started to sand off the ORIGINAL paint...WHY???

I left it as it was, but decided it needed an all-over colour, so did it burgundy...

 

 

 

 

 

This lovely Cupboard was over by the window. I prefer it here, as you can see it better...more New Flowers!

 

 

 

 I leave my Shaker Tree out all year, but change the decorations...

This used to sit on a cream table, but I moved the Farm Stool here, put the Dough Bowl Keeper on it and stood the Tree on top...

I think it looks unusual...

 

 

 

I got these two Sledges at a local Antiques Centre...

They are from the 1950's and I love them!

I gave them a coat of matt varnish and they came up great...

They were still on the table when I got my Pumpkins out, so I put them on the Sledges...

Pumpkin Sledges!!

 

 

 

I've been adding to my addiction of Cariad Bach Dolls...

Barbara is so talented and makes such beautiful but teeny tiny Dolls...and all

BY HAND!!!

I've got quite a collection now, so will post some pictures of them...
