Aqualicious Hall Table and Mirror Makeover!

Hello lovely friends

I realised this is my 50th blog post, a milestone for my little blog!  Thank you so much for following along and for all your lovely comments, they warm my heart!  I feel so lucky to have had a few projects featured, including three in the last couple of weeks...  this is crazy exciting for my teeny blog.  You can check out my featured projects here :).

Now onto a Before and After Quickie!

I'm always on a mission to ban fake tan furniture... so when I came across this guy I knew I had to help him!  I fell in love with the shape and details of this piece..  and I knew he was destined for Aqua greatness!



 


The chair is part of a set of four which I refinished earlier this year.




















Here's the before...  well made, nice shape, bad fake tan finish ;)

 
 
I also refinished this lovely mirror in the same aqualicious colour.  I find it tricky to photograph mirrors, I usually end up with a foot or an arm in shot...  not this time but I do have the 'leaning tower' of cushies in the background ;)
 
 

Thanks for stopping by lovelies,


Jo xx

      Hi Ashley :) Thanks. It was a custom colour I mixed using a base of a colour called Magnetic Magic (dulux) but I mixed in some white and some mid blue until I found the shade I was after. Jo xx

    oooh I love this colour too! Did you just sand back a bit when you were finished to give it the 'rough/loved' look?
    Fantastic makeover :)
