    are they varnished pine (no bother) or natural wood waxed -which needs stain blocking primer over the knots.




    Today I finished waxing a chalk painted dressing table that had 3 panels left undone from weeks ago. I just dragged it in to the bedroom and put it on my to do list! The bliss of being able to cross off one thing :)




    ignore the clutter ( I do)

    :)



    Lovely work CS :T
