One of the criteria for listing my items is that whilst it is 'hand- up- cycled' as it were, it still needs to have a professional finish...which is where my perfectionism comes in... and a lot of sandpaper!
Dust has become my number one enemy, between coats I'm like a mother with her first newborn child ( I loosened up a bit after number one, number two turned out fine...baby that is..). Hovering, shushing where needed, just so the paint can cure without any interruption of evil dust particles.
Having said this, I do love the little imperfections of the actual pieces that I upcycle. Perfection is overrated when it comes to that, history is good. It needs to talk to me, with every little nick and little dent having its own story. Then and only then will I try and put the perfect finish on it...
Today I thought I'd show you a sneak peek at what I will be stocking in my Etsy store...

As I mentioned before, bright colors are a favorite of mine so no surprises that my first pieces will feature a lot of watermelon/ pink. Throw in a little vintage paisley for the drawers, a fabulous new ceramic knob and I think this little cabinet could make a fabulous bedside or occasional table.
Hope you have a great day.
