Tallboy: Before and After
Would anyone like to see a little before and after for a Friday? Then have a little look below! This vintage tallboy was in a pretty poor state when it came to the workshop. It had loads of potential though, and was a beautifully well-made piece, far too good to throw away! So with a coat (or four!) of paint, a beautiful damask-print lining and new shiny crystal knobs it wasn’t long before it found a new home!

Chest of Drawers: Before and After
So, you may remember a few weeks ago I posted a sneak peek of a before/after I had been working on… Well, good news, it’s finished!
Here’s the before to remind you…
And here’s the After :-)
I loved working on this piece, it is such a beautiful quality piece of furniture. I painted it in the sunshine with several coats of paint, lined the drawers with a beautiful Laura Ashley-print wallpaper and finished with a hard-wearing varnish. I hope it finds a lovely new home soon, if you think you could offer one - or just want to see more pictures of it! - it’s for sale here…
Semi-circular table: Before/After
Before:
Another before and after project, this time a console table, which was pretty dated and in need of a make-over. It seemed to be asking to be painted in a loud colour, and I was kindly gifted a lovely wallpaper to match, which I applied to the top. Results below!
Bedside table: Before/After
Before:
This little bedside table had dated badly, and was in desperate need of a makeover! I decided to completely change the colour by painting it and also changed the colour of the gaudy brass handle on the front of the piece. Finally, some wallpaper details were added and voila!
Chest of drawers : Before/After
This cute little chest of drawers had seen better days, but with a coat of cream paint, new flower knob handles and sanded & waxed drawer fronts, it was given a new lease of life, and a new home!
Chest of drawers redo
Currently in my workshop is this beautiful solid wood chest of drawers, which, as you can see, was looking a bit sorry for itself, with loose and missing handles! I decided to transform it with several coats of paint and a distressed finish. Here’s a sneak peek at progress so far…
I’ll post a final finished photo and dimensions in the next couple of days. In the meantime though, it’s for sale to anyone who wants a beautifully well-made, solid and very heavy reloved chest of drawers in their home!
