From Junk to Gems...

Wooden coffee table - found on the street

Restored table - daffodils & snowdrops

Take an old tatty table 

found at the side of the road... 

and smarten it up with a fresh lick of paint...

Re-cycling... a great way of salvaging unwanted furniture and household items and re-creating something beautiful to add to your home...

My husband found this tired looking table at the side of the street... and gave it a new lease of life with a coat of white paint... we distressed the corners and crevices of the table with sandpaper to give a shabby chic country style look...

This made a unique and stylish present for my mother on her birthday, which now takes pride of place in her living room...

Happy Birthday Mam...

Secondhand secrets...

Salt & pepper shakers - Charity Shop

Coloured latte bowls - Anthropologie

Shopping for second hand bits and pieces for the home, is something my husband and i love to do...

It is nice to come away with one unique piece from car boots or junk shops that you will love and treasure, however big or small it may be...

I love these salt and pepper shakers that i picked up from one of my local charity shops, their unusual style and bright colour adds a touch of vibrance to my kitchen...
