The drawers are finished and I finally have a bedside table again..... the cardboard box has been banished from my bedroom forever
I even managed to make the bed thismorning (with the cat still asleep in the middle).The colour isn't exactly what it should be, but somebody picked up the wrong stain from the shelf at Bunnings. It was supposed to be more dark brown and less red, but it still looks good.
The funniest thing is that when we moved the huge cardboard box out lastnight (which had been labelled Hats and Scarves), and opened it, we found that it was actually full of fabric!
I have sooooo much fabric that I didn't even miss an entire box full........ and now I need to find room to unpack it. What a problem to have....oh dear!
Yay for the bedside table. It looks great. I can't believe you found another box of fabric. My goodness. It's going to be fun to get it all organised one day. I'll have to come and work my organisational magic.
ReplyDeleteOooh yay to table! The handles are divine. Well done :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your bedhead. mmm.
Damn that person who picked the wrong stain though. Blame the Bunnings shop lights.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Now your touch lamp has a real home.
ReplyDeletePs. I too love the handles and the bed head.
What a dilema you have...Having to find more room for a whole box of fabric you forgot you even had...thats funny. I love the cupboard too.
ReplyDeleteI love the drawers. The handles are fantastic! The reddish stain looks really nice, too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are settling in and making your house a home!
ReplyDeleteHad to have a real chuckle at you finding more fabrics.... that's hilarious! I'm very in love with the drawer handles too. Noice.
ReplyDeleteOh, to have the time to make something lovely like that! It's quite beautiful Cam, sort of rustic and charming. U're a Jack of all trades!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than unearthing a forgotten stash - yipee!
ReplyDeleteI really like your new drawers.
The joy of reusing boxes from previous moves, finding better stuff!!
ReplyDeleteNice chest of drawers, I know there's one in my room....somewhere....
Ooooh - more fabric. Surely that's a good thing! And I must say that I love your bedding!
ReplyDeleteNice bedside table! You have done a great job with it. And I have to laugh about finding the extra fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLOOKS SO FANTASTIC...
ReplyDeletewell done...love a bargain especially furniture....
and a box of fabric...you will be sewing till your hearts content...
Ooh, fabric, yum! The table looks great, what a score from Salvo's! I love the comment from the cat, mine sometimes sleeps under the doona all day. I go to lay on my bed- oops! I also throw the doona over the top of her haha.
ReplyDeletelooks really good with the red stain. finding places for more fabric is a horrible problem, horrible :p make covers for you table? would use up a bit of the fabric
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the bedside table. And I just love your bedspread. Hooray for lost and found fabric :) It's like finding money in a pocket of an old winter coat.
ReplyDeleteWow, the drawers look fantastic. And YAY to finding a whole box of fabric :D
ReplyDeleteA surprise fabric stash - how delightful! I wish I had your luck!
ReplyDeleteyay for fabric!
ReplyDeleteand yay for a pretty bedside table!
It looks brilliant! never mind the wrong stain, it looks fab. Clever, clever. I am all for buying second hand instead of new.
ReplyDeleteYour bedding is very fun here!
ReplyDeleteLove love love that bedside table! I had the same problem with a coffee table I repainted, still it came out ok but wasn't quite what I imagined.....I blame the salemans not knowing chocolate brown from rusty brown!
