I also am interested in distressed furniture after doing up this awesome jewellery box for a friend.
My friend loves Opshops! I do in small doses, I will go... head straight to where the frames are and I'm outa there.
She found this cute jewellery box for me to do up. I wish I took a before photo. Picture this... All wooden and missing the door inserts. So with a lil white paint and some vintage scrapbooking card! Voila! Shabby Chic!
So now when I head to the opshop I now look for frames, and then quickly for cute finds like this, then outa there! lol
This one was a fave also! Bit of up cycling n now looks perfect! Picture this.... White was previously an ugly green, and the blackboard was a beautiful (NOT) picture of some grapes!
Put it all together & you get Shabby Chic!
The hard thing about creations like these 2...... U just wana keep them! I could! But then that would defeat my purpose of business, to create & sell! lol
(As I write this we have a small rage to madagascar! 'I like to move it move it') LOL
This was another great find! I got it off 'Preloved Gisborne' facebook page. Another awesome place to buy/sell good locally! This can also become an addiction. Which I am NOT! But once when I kinda was... I found this! Before it was all crappy & gold! forgive me for people who do like gold! This just looks so much more chic in white with a hint of gold lol
Brought for $15 sold for $40 I did wana keep this.
I tried to find another one on Trade Me Shamade Me but people were wanting to sell for a ridiculous price! So I will keep an eye out for any more cheapies :)
