I am so very fortunate to work with materials I love and of course wood has to be my favourite. I have lived my life around wood as my father was a joiner and many of my childhood years were spent going to work with him .I am sure that is where my love of wood and making things came from….although when plastic windows came in the very early seventies my dads response was ” Plastic windows…they will never take off “!!!. So my project today has been an absolute delight to work on and as yet is not quite finished.
A very sad unloved solid butchers block in a very sorry state. After hours of sanding painted and applying buckets of pure tung oil to the block it is finally been brought back to life with a bang. After two coats of Annie Sloan Old White and a wax this piece is truly on its way back to its former glory. The addtion of a new handle which I have yet to choose will finish this piece of perfectly, and it will then be able to serve a busy kitchen for years to come. Hope you love it as much as I do. X

My grandson Freddie was incredibly enthralled by the fantastic owls belonging to Athenas Owls and the amazing sound of the boys busking from Bud Sugar. Or just to sit and enjoya coffee and a piece of the famous homemade lemon drizzle cake from the cafe. The gorgeous colourful unique wares from the traders on this market really are second to none,totally unique and bespoke.

A pot of paint a tin of wax ,lots of elbow grease and a little vision…..that is all it takes.
This gorgeous table and four chairs has been upcycled and reloved back to life ensuring many more years of family meals and friendly chats……. The chairs have been stripped back and painted in #Annie Sloan Cream Chalk Paint sealed with a clear wax, the table has been restored, then using a gorgeous dark wax it was finally polished off with a sweet smelling beeswax on its wonderful top. Throw in a pinch of light distressing and this lovely piece has come back to life with a warmth which is worthy of its lovely waxing….Wonderful…… x
