{DIY Project}


This little project has done the blog rounds already, but I've been meaning to post it here as a record for myself, and hope that it may inspire someone else too. I love DIY projects so I was pretty excited when this was posted a few weeks ago on one of my favourite blogs, This is Glamorous. These swanky little nightstands have been given a new lease on life with a fresh coat of paint and this great chevron pattern, they now serve as a hall console. Fabulous!


Instructions and pattern download can be found here, and now I must get organised for my daughters teacher of the deaf is visiting this morning. Wednesdays are always a little more chaotic and a lot more fun in this house. Have a beautiful day!

    Re-vamping furniture is so much fun. These look great. Just this morning bought a big book on stencilling at the Op Shop for $2. Lots of ideas.....
