Eh up ! I’ve actually made something useful.
Two sets of table mats and napkins.
All made with scrap pieces from my fabric stash.
The test will be if they survive the washer
The kitchen has had a bit of a revamp.
We found some scaffold boards in the garage, bought some
brackets and as if by magic we have new kitchen shelves.
We’ve painted the pine pantry cream.
It was originally a wardrobe. Last year we added
panels of wallpaper.
When I say “we” I of course mean the royal we.
It’s the wandering welder who is doing the painting
not me.
It’s all coming together nicely. Even better we’ve spent very
little on doing it.
I’ve added a utensil rail and a few twinkles above the horrid
I’ve added a utensil rail and a few twinkles above the horrid
extractor fan whose only use is as a light and for banging your
head on.
So no workdesk Julia but we have been busy.
Take care
Hope you feel better soon Annie

Thank you Annie. Hope you’re feeling better xxx
Deletebusy bees indeed! xxx
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks really cosy and inviting. Yes, we have a head banger too - sharp corners at forehead level! Your mats and napkins will look fab on your table too. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteIt all looks very cosy in your home and so very you. It reminds me of those lovely books one is always tempted to buy that shows all the lovely ideas of how to revamp the various areas in your home. In fact I am sure you could do an article for a magazine showing just what you have shown us today.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet xx
ps will look for the major next walk down the prom
Thanks for your lovely comments Neet. You’ve made my day xx
DeleteYour kitchen is looking great. I wondered if you had any advice on stitching old lace edged material together. I am thinking a double page for a journal and not sure where to start. Would it be called a fabric collage? Angela #10
ReplyDeleteI’d love to see some pics of what you’re planning Angela. Would putting an interface backing help?
DeleteEmail me some pics if you like xxx
Beautiful kitchen, it's very you all lovely and cosy. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x12x
ReplyDeleteLovely cosy and cottagey (not sure if there is such a word!) looking in your kitchen/dining room. We, again the royal we, are supposed to be decorating our living room before Christmas and revamping a very ugly fireplace! - nothing happening yet so we shall see x
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the kitchen Lynn, especially the wardrobe/pantry and the new shelves. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your kitchen revamp! That pine pantry looks absolutely amazing painted cream and with those gorgeous wallpaper panels. And how fantastic are those scaffolding boards turned kitchen shelving! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann. The pantry is not as cream as we would like it so it may get another coat of paint.
DeleteI love the scaffold board shelves. It’s my favourite bit xxx
your kitchen is gorgeous - love the new shelves and the adapted wardrobe! Happy WOYWW Helen # 1
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy and it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty table settings, Lynn, and I absolutely love your kitchen! I've got a cooker hood extractor fan very similar to yours and love it - you must be taller than me becaue I've never banged my head on mine lol! Lovely idea to put pretty lights on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW,

It looks absolutely gorgeous, proper homely with bags of interest and personality.
ReplyDeleteFar better to use what we'd had for years and revamp it rather than going out and buying new, I want my home to reflect our personalities and not current fashion! xxx
I’ve recycled the top half of the Welsh dresser now. After a bit of hacking it at with a saw it is now a shelving unit in my craftroom xx
Deletei love the revamp, so homely . I love how creative you have been. I hate these people who show off their fancy pants kitchens, but they are so bland and boring and lack well creativity. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a mishmash kitchen from the start. The units came from a skip.
DeleteI love your kitchen - it looks so lovely and welcoming, and the table mats and napkins are perfect for it. I can't wait until mine is finished - next Spring hopefully (only 18 months late!). Happy Belated WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. Love & God Bless, Caro xxx
ReplyDeleteYou kitchen is looking great you must be pleased,well done on the mats and napkins,
