We have been living in our new home for almost zeven months now and I see now what it needs. And it needs a mixture between comtemporary and brocante. And a small budget maybe has something to do with it, ha ha.
In my last post you can read that I bought an old stool and was planning to paint it. And that's exactly what I did. This is how it looked before:
You can see, a real old fashioned stool, I think from the 1950's / 1960's. And this is what is looks with a new coat of paint!
I put the stool, together with another 'new old' one in the livingroom.
Stools are multifunctional! You can use it for an extra seat or as a sidetable. This one I use in the livingroom as both. Last week I was at the secondhand store where I bought it and saw another one, exactly the same! And of course I had to buy it too and take it home with me. The fact that I was on my bike was no problem. It took a bit longer to get home, but I got there and the stool was still intact, stratch free! With this one I'm going to experiment and I'll show you when it's done!
And finally, I painted a cabinet I bought years ago. This time, not white but a beautiful grey colour.
It's now in my bedroom and the towels and bedding are put away in it. I think it just looks lovely!
