Some play time for me........



Some furniture made so long ago and left unfinished has been picked up and painted.  I just felt like doing something different - haha!  It's still paint - what am I talking about!

Never mind, it's as finished as it ever will be!  Here are the results...of course, sporting a couple of baskets I whipped up for the occasion.



A corner cupboard - yet to be filled



A work table





A door-less sideboard




Cane basket with twisted handle



And that's me done for another day!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend - I know I will!!!
(nothing like thinking positive)

  2. I like making and painting my own furniture as well. It is much more creative, because you can try different finish to it.
    I love the corner cupboard. It is great!!
    Your handmade baskets are the perfect addition to this lovely furniture.

    Have a nice weekend,

  10. it all looks great! You know, I knew there are several techniques to make a basket, but I never knew there were so many looks and shapes and techniques!
    I so understand why you don't get bored making them
    Hugs,

  11. Lovely items of furniture and baskets. It is always satisfying when you finish projects that have been sitting on the 'waiting list' for too long. The corner unit will look great with a mix of items on it.

  12. Hi Lidi! I love the solid country look that these pictures evoke. It looks like farmhouse furniture plain and simple but you have made them versatile with the accessories that you have paired the pieces with. It is all very spare but yet very elegant! Not as easy as it looks either.

  14. You used white paint???? I don't believe it! Where's the grunge? Now I'm wondering what you're intending for these. Love the baskets of course but that pumpkin is pretty awesome too, did Jess make it?

    1. Ah Sus!! white paint indeed! I'm not sure what I'm intending for those pieces of furniture - but a country kitchen roombox is hovering somewhere in my brain. Oh well, one of these days it'll all happen!!
      No Jess did not make that pumpkin - but she will be making some others for a friend!!
      Talk soon dear lady - take care! Hugs - Lidi
