Weekend Plans and The Chest Revealed

Another busy few days renovating a chest of drawers with my husband and getting ready for a trip to visit my daughter.  There is a dress fitting and hair rehearsal tomorrow.  Then we are travelling down to Brighton to meet up with my other 2 daughters and lots of friends for a hen party.  It is starting off as a fancy dress party the theme being DISNEY as that is where Matt proposed to her so I am going as Mickey Mouse.  We are having an art class, a lesson in cocktail making an Italian meal and then priority passes to a night club.  I think I will be giving the night club a miss but the rest sounds like fun.

Do you remember the £5 car boot find??


Well we have stripped it back, sanded it and finally painted it and replaced the knobs.  Drum roll please....

 
All ready to be lifted up into its new home, my bedroom.
 
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, I will catch up with everyone when I get back.
 
See you soon.

    Aw the hen party will be amazing, pic of you as Mickey? Enjoy the festivities, family, friends and the occasion.
    Nightclub? You'll be fine-show them how it is done-be a legend as my daughter would say.
    Have fun.

  5. Wow, that chest is gorgeous. My desk needs a paint but can't be bothered to get down to it.
    I live in Brighton so I'll be looking out for a lot of ladies dressed like disney characters, we get a lot of hen ladies down here. Have a nice time.

  14. Such a lovely job you've done with the chest! I love giving old furniture a new life - so much nicer than buying everything new in a world that is already full with stuff. Have fun at the hen party - sounds like a fun program :-) Lena x

  16. Its lovely, you have done a great job. Wouldnt it be wonderful if everyone upcycled old pieces of furniture? I much prefer to put my own stamp on old things.
