Well this weekend the walls got painted out. Twice! Very... very boring! Two coats of drab cream. How l detest this colour!!! Never mind that it makes the room look bigger and brighter and fresher! It's cream! l hate it! But the dark original colour is gone and now its ready for the top coat!
And a final goodbye signature before this alcove gets turned into a bookcase.
l have made it out of some old drawers . Some on their sides , some on their ends. l then added some extra shelves to give it a sort of haphazard quirky feel to it. It took forever but l love the result. It should look great filled with books and SOME of my odds and ends!
Love this!!! It was an old strip of painted cedar which was the perfect size to fit this little gap!
It has old hardwood shelves, pine and cedar. A real mish mash of what was on the wood pile!
Some of the old drawer fittings are still visible
But if ever you see something like this and someone tells you that they just 'throw' stuff like this together....that person is a fibber!!!!! It took forever and was very fiddly and difficult in parts to get the balance right and to get all the drawers to fit! But l do like the end result and it cost me absolutely nothing
And then today after work on went the first coat.
It's a strong colour but not too dark. l love it with the splash of green.
Second coat tomorrow. Can't wait!
