this is a post were I'm going to blow my own trumpet, if you need the job doing and doing right give us a call
before
and after
these were the only two things we had to leave (shame that)
an old bone shaker of some kind, and this old car
not sure what it is have to get our dad to have a look he’d know.
getting back to an earlier blog, made a start on the fresco table today
yes the classic piece of shabby chic one (they'll rot in hell for their crime) by the look of the centre don't even think they knew it was an extending table, but anyway as you can see it’s in the right hands now
as you can see “yessss! we have grain” just the legs to clean up now, underneath the lovely magnolia silk emulsion I'm not sure if it’s mahogany or walnut but I’m getting there, the top is no questions asked teak! and as for finish i think silk to show the grain, witch means thinned varnish x 4 or 5 coats (flat with 600 paper after each) then polish, or should i try what some very old cabinet maker who toured India once told me about, one coat of linseed oil every day for thirty days, then dry for a week then flat and polish.
the fair lady (Duchess of Pavenhill, Restrop, and Ringsbury) poppy bagwash took control Sunday
before
and after, well poppy see you've still got general George S. Patton's left handed golf clubs and the very rare painting of a bowl of fruit by lady affelia balls from the pre raphaelite movement of Dagenham Docks.
the definition of (according to Billy) you take one piece of classic 70,s G plan furniture like this
and do this to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this week we had a ruling from the European court of human rights stating that any life prisoner should be given the right to appeal, ok all well and good for mass murders but come off it anyone who commits shabby chic life should mean life. this will be an on-going project putting this piece of classic 70,s G plan furniture right so stay tuned to this blog
(sorry i just love real wood)
