Shabby Chic; Volume III

Pitlanepiglet

Thanks annie-c that's good advice and in my stupidity I'd overlooked that I already have cushions for the chairs - they are just very battered so there is no reason why I can't get some fabric and have a go at recovering them.

I suspect I'll be back for more help!

Hi eveyone it's been a long time since posting here but I have been keeping up with you all

Bibbity I love your kitchen and the calkboard is such a great make-over
My kitchen is still to be finished (I started it last summer ) but Ive told my OH to get off his behind and we are going to give the whole house a big sort out and decorate it

I have been collecting shelving bits to go in my sewing area ready to give a make-over too when the weather is good again (missed the last good days, I had to have an op on my hand).
Im going to sew some nice cushion covers for my sofa (pintucks and ruffles)
ROLL ON SUMMER

Not been doing much but I really want to get back into it, I have got loads of stuff that needs doing come in peeps, post your photos and inspire me

Found these at my local B&M for £1.99, thought they were lovely

Such lovely transformations.

I have bought 4 new dining chairs from our local recycling centre today. They were nicotine stained and I have been scrubbing them all day but they still smell.
I want to shabby chic them
Could you please give me some suggestions?

Would they look nice all painted white, or not? Here is a photo

P.S.
Someone on here posted a picture of a table and chairs set they had painted white, I have trawled through pages and pages and can't find it? Anyone know who it was?

I have just posted over on the Sewing Room thread some photos of a lovely fabric artwork that Pennib did for me - my Quirky Village! Here is one pic - worth a look over there at some more detailed ones, it is beautiful and I am thrilled!!!
