Year ago

Can't believe it was just a year ago when I started my wooden wall decor adventures. 

It was sunny and dry day and I just returned from shopping trip for more paint and other important crafty stuff.
​
Nothing much has changed. I still enjoy making my wall decors. I still don't have a workshop. I use any spare clear square meter in this little household. I still enjoy my makings and I still buy more paint and napkins only my buys and findings become a little larger in scale. And clear square meters are more complicated to find.

This 80' s little side table Richard got from his friend (look I'm not the only hoarder in this family!) is finally next in line for makeover. I will try to keep it as authentic as I think I will. 

I was curious about General Finishes gel stains everyone was talking about and admiring in crafters and makers community. So I ordered a tin of Java gel stain from Aileen's shop www.shabby.ie  and few lovely mouldings as well ( for future projects ;)

Little bit of struggle from beginning to figure out what I want to achieve with it but at the end I'm quite pleased for the look. It was an old table and I made it even older looking. 

Today I will have to decide which drawer knob I will use and ruin the last bit of the table (that's how my husband described my activities), the top. I have some ideas in my think thank for it. Just wait till you see!

Then another photo shoot for D Craft Affairs history books and that's that!

Have a lovely weekend
