With many years experience working as a Senior PA / Office Manager with excellent Human Resources and Administration experience I developed this blog to show what I can bring for businesses in the North East of England. In my leisure time homes are my passion and so I've captured things that I've done in my home and garden.

Anyone for Ice Cream?

We've started to have a few nice days of sunny weather giving me the chance to get some furniture painted.

This collection of side tables needed a new lease of life so using a lovely shade of cream I gave them all a sand, undercoat, and five light coats of paint before a nice spray of gloss to protect the tops.  I can now sit back and enjoy a nice ice-cream!


The old small table.. part of a nest of three




the overall colour no longer matched the interior
looking rather dull and in need of some new life

Looking good against the cream walls
and lace curtains

shined tops ready for guests to use 





the tables and their new look!
We used Dulux Quick Dry Satinwood followed by Non Drip Gloss (Fresh Cream) followed by a light spray of Plasti Kote clear spray to protect the tops.  Total cost for project including paint and labour, £100
