These shapely bedside tables are painted in pink and blue with strokes of white running through the colours. I painted them to go in my daughter's bedroom......and now I have got to paint her wooden bed to match.
I painted this wooden tray, then added the flowers which were to match the colours of the brides flowers. The wedding invitation was glued to the center and I then painted ivy draping over the sides. To finish the tray, I coated it with several layers of gloss varnish.
This is a design for a wooden tray. The wedding invitation will be glued on the center of the tray and the bird design will then be painted on the left and right hand side of the invite. Many layers of varnish are painted over the whole design to make it durable.
I hand painted this wooden tray and decorated it with my photographs of Portugal. I sealed it with many layers of varnish, making it tough and usable. It can be used for decorative purposes but it can be used to put your cups of tea on and if there are any spillages then just wipe it with a damp cloth.
This is a medium sized tin plant pot decorated with pink retro patterned napkins and sealed with layers of vanish. It can be used as a fruit bowl or to put you favourite old fashioned sweets in.
I decorated these tin buckets with pink retro patterned napkins and sealed them with many layers of varnish. I tied bows with pretty ribbon as a finishing touch. They can be used for your favourite little plants or they would be ideal for a girls bedroom to store her pens and crayons.
This money mirror looks like it is covered in real money! I'm not that crazy though. In fact, the notes are actually napkins that are incredibly realistic. I finished the frame with many layers of varnish to seal it.
Here is a cream wooden toddler chair with a pink retro print. The child's name can be painted on the back bar of the chair.
This wooden, cream toddler chair is decorated with turtles and a tortoise with a subtle blue shading. Ideal for a little boys room. A name can be painted on the back bar of the chair.
We recently picked these two chairs up from London that we found on Ebay. They are very low and I think that they would be suitable for children. As you can see, I have not yet done anything to them but if anyone would like them painted in a particular colour then just let me know.
I am not sure if they are antique but they look old. From what I can gather from similar images on the internet, I think that they are Chinese and possibly wedding chairs. One of them has a small draw under the seat. I love them because they are so unusual.
I bought this sewing box from the local furniture project which sells second hand furniture and the proceeds go towards adults with learning difficulties within the community. There are many pieces of wooden furniture there that I would love to buy and give a new lease of life.
The apple green really looks fresh, bringing out the patchwork of colours on the lid that creates a country style look. The dimensions are; height 39cm, length 76cm and width 32cm approx.
I was asked to decorate the top of a round coffee table with flowers using Decoupage. My client already had a table in this style and requested something similar to compliment it.
This drop-leaf table is perfect in a small space. It's hand painted in a high quality eggshell finish. 
These two and a half inch cubes are decorated with different patterned papers, with one face painted in chalk board paint. They are a fun alternative to decorate any room in your home and words or simple messages can be written on the chalk board face.
Here is the chalk board to match the picture frame which I showed on my last blog. The chalk board would be ideally hung in a kitchen and the back of the board is covered with the pink and cream roses, so it's reversible.
I love these rose paper napkins and they work so well using decoupage. I've nearly finished a blackboard with the same napkins to decorate the edge, all I need is a ribbon to hang it.
These two inch Shabby Chic wooden cubes are decorated with coloured papers using decoupage technique. Different papers can be used, and they can be personalized with photos of family and holiday snaps.
Two cream, Shabby Chic style, hand painted chairs. I have decorated them by cutting out roses from paper napkins, gluing them on and them finishing it with layers of varnish. I am working on some wooden hearts and blocks at the moment in the same Shabby Chic style.
Two more vintage chairs, painted and decorated. My next furniture project is a table and two chairs and I think I will do those in pink. I really need to pull my socks up and create lots of hand painted gifts and goodies because I have a stall at the Hose Fest in July.
These hand painted vintage chairs are painted in a beautiful blue, hard wearing, eggshell paint. Using decoupage technique, I have decorated them with a map to add something a bit different.
Acrylic paints on linen canvas textured paper. This original painting is 24 x 33 cm.
Paper craft is a great way for children to experience creativity. They will develop a sense of achievement as they follow through with their task and see the end result. Here are examples of a flower crown.
I love bold colours and here I have arranged them simply. I am looking forward to getting this image printed as a greeting card.
This is a modern collage that is simple, colourful and would be great in a teenage girls bedroom.
To give my daughters friends something different for their birthdays, I like to make or decorate something because then I know that they will have a gift that's unique. Here is a wooden money box that I have painted and used decoupage. It's my daughter's friend's 10th birthday on Sunday, so I hope that she likes it!
