The Bone Shaker

We finished this great set of scotch drawers the other day by handpainting a vintage image of a victorian gentleman riding a "Bone Shaker" bicycle. Thanks graphics fairy for your great copy-right free images. :)

This project proved that even a plain unpainted set of mdf drawers can be transformed into something very unexpected! We used VMV "Grey Ghost" toned down with a little "White Crystal" as our paint colour.

Two of us completed this project. One did the man and the other the bicycle.. After it was transferred onto the drawers with pencil it was painted on by hand.

Sorry, this set is not for sale but commission requests are welcome.

Commission Price Example: These drawers are 103cm H x 91cm W with a graphic covering about 3/4 of the front costing $295 total. This is made up of $170 to paint the dresser* and $125 to paint the image.

*This price uses one of my four free colours "White Crystal", "Pink Potion", "Voodoo Bloo" or "Black Magic". You can select from the rest of my 18 colour chart range for an additional $15-$23. Alternatively you can choose any colour from the RESENE colour range for an additional per-tin cost.

Upcycled Pet Bed

My husband does a lot of my "picking" for me and one of his favourite things to find are vintage drawers.  Last night he came home with several drawers including one lonely oak-fronted one.

Today I transformed it into a funky dunky pet bed. My pooches Boston and Deno kept their beady eyes on it all day thinking it was all theirs. lol.

I actually repurposed four different things to make this bed. Of course, the oak-fronted drawer that my hubby found yesterday. The slates were from an old cot. The legs originally came off a dinky little footstool that had a damaged top. And lastly the handles were from an old dressing table.

French Style Nesting Tables

My pants just got completely covered in paint. Grrrrr. Whilst packing all the equipment and stuff away after this project I accidentally dropped the paint-brush-washing-bucket onto the floor, splashing painty mess-ness upwards like a milky white volcano. 

Nice. 

Remind me again why I should ALWAYS wear my painting clothes when working..... au revoir nice pair of jeans.... 

Anyhooo, do you like these nesting tables? 

Oui oui..
