It wasn't thrifted; it was gifted - from generous friends renovating their kitchen.
Here it is...
I'll carry on during the Summer holidays tackling it in manageable chunks! The main body will be New White, with Ball Green on the inside and back.
It's lovely and solid, with oodles of storage. I have bought a tin of F and B Estate Eggshell in New White, but my other materials I already had - some F and B Ball Green emulsion, some finishing wax and half a roll of Cath Kidston wallpaper. Here's a sneaky peek...

One more day at work then roll on Summer!

Wow what a pressie :)
ReplyDeleteI have a dresser that I've owned for many years - it could do with a paint but the thought of emptying it puts me off!
Hi Sally, I never really thought about it before, probably because I've never had a dresser but now you've got me thinking and I want one!
ReplyDeleteI think yours is going to look superb in that colour scheme, you'll get so much pleasure once its done and stocking it with your china.
Hey I must check out the lady with the dresser full of Hornsea Pottery.
Happy renovating! x
Lovely - and very similar to mine - which is buried beneath fabric and sewing machines. Loving the paint and fabric additions.
