An heirloom restored 😀

This table has been in the family for generations. It had been well used and well loved and was in beautiful condition apart from some water marks on the top.

The table was too big to move into the workshop so using my dustless sander I did it in-situ at the customer’s home.

I sanded back the old varnish and thankfully the watermarks weren’t too deep. Then I cleaned the table top with white spirit to get rid of all the dust. This also shows what the transformation will be if you apply a coat of clear varnish. A drastic colour change in this case!

Then I applied a coat of Polyx-oil and left that overnight to dry. I went back the next day gave it a very light sand and dust and applied a second coat.

I love how this came out and the fact that the family will sit round it again and it’s protected for future generations 👵🏻 👩🏻 👶🏻

Love an accidental mooching day. It’s good to slow life down every now and again.

We popped to Kings Heath Plant Nursery and left with a bagful of plants, enjoyed some fabulous food .co , followed by trip to .object to chat all things furniture, we bumped into .house which was lovely, popped to to chat all things Flora and ended up with a huge brownie and cookie

All within walking distance from home 🙌

Trying to make a more concerted effort to support local independent businesses partly because they’re local but also because they’re really good!

I’m not decorating this week but even in this heat I find it almost impossible to do nothing!

This was a nice little project that hadn’t even made it onto a list so doubly satisfying to have done it!

I noticed these tiles when some paint chipped off a few years ago and as 1930s houses have very few ‘original features’ I thought I’d keep them (I’m pretty sure they aren’t original but I like them!).

This porch gets no sun and is cold in the winter and after some research the good old Aspidistra (popular with Victorians in their cold, dark houses) seemed to be the only choice.

Welcome to Aspidistra corner 🪴

I never get bored of this!

This room has been a joy to complete.

It’s another beautiful transformation. The colour is warm and cosy when it’s dark and glows when the sun is shining. The ceiling and woodwork are now a fresh, clean white and the room is ready to move into.

I caulked all the edges to get clean lines and recaulked around the windows. It was a joy to get a nice clean line around the fireplace and scrape the previous paint off the window frames.

This room will be a wonderful place to sleep, relax and rest in.

Now booking for October onwards so get in touch if you’d like a quote.

What a fabulous day we had when and I gave a Decluttering talk to theBalsall Heath and Moseley WI

They were a wonderful, friendly group of ladies and were really engaged in the subject of Decluttering and Professional Organisation. The FAQs could’ve gone on for the rest of the day - I had to drag my ‘last orders at the bar’ voice out from my days of working in a pub.

They gave us a fabulous write up in their newsletter so we thought we’d share it with you all. We’ve already had requests from a few other groups for more talks!

Thanks to Lisa for the write up and for the photos. We particularly love the photo of us and Karen sorting out the knicker draw!

Hallway transformation!

This hallway was tired yet had so much potential so it was time to get it sorted out.

The customer had taken some of the flaking paint off the bannisters but it all needed to come off so I spent a couple of days scraping (weirdly satisfying 😂).

Then I did the usual prep of filling, sanding and priming. I used a stain blocker on the stains from an old water leak, cut out the loose wallpaper and filled and caulked all the edges so I could cut in cleanly.

Once all that was done I painted the walls in Optiva 5 by in Silk Road and Batiste.

It looks clean, fresh and welcoming. A place that you want to linger in and not rush through.

Now booking for September/October so if you have any rooms you’d like to chat about please drop me a message.
