Two-Tone Bentwood DIY

Jones is having a bedroom overhaul!  New colours, new stylings, a new spring freshness about it!

A long weekend means much can be done.  Here's a delightful little item with a fresh feel.

Jones' lovely made-over bentwood stool will take pride of place in her new-look boudoir.

Stripes on my Bureau


It's easy to add a bit of interest and snazzy up plain, old furniture with stripes & gloss.  We chose white and grey paint and gave the handles accent with black gloss.  

From sporting a very unseemly coat of brown paint, this chest of drawers was rescued from its sorry state and given new life at Tomas & Jones HQ. 



Painting Stripes
To easily paint stripes with no hassles measure and lightly mark the width of your stripes then use painter's tape to mask the edges.  We gave the whole thing a few coats of white paint first, then using the tape, painted on the grey.  

{ Handy Hint } 
Always start with the lightest colour and then layer on top of that.


It is often helpful to draw inspiration from the style and architectural period of your apartment or house to tie your decorating together. 

Let us know what you think, and send us some pictures of your DIY furniture reno's and we'll feature them.

Don't forget it's the last chance to enter our giveaway today! The winner will be drawn tonight!
Good luck!

A little ray of sunshine

This cute little frame came home with us from an Op Shop recently!

It's a beautiful picture, but looked a little...brown. So, a slap of paint or two, and voila...everything's looking a little more cheery all of a sudden!



I can just imagine sitting down to tea at this table, can't you?  So romantic and sweet!

We've got quite a few more projects on the go at the moment, so it's lots of fun!  Nothing better then making something come to life with your own special touch!!

BTW: We got our very first comment today!! So, very exciting!!!! The lovely Kellie from Ada & Darcy popped on by.  Kellie's blog is absolutely gorgeous, and I get inspiration there everyday!  So it's an honour to have you stop by here Kellie!  Speaking of special projects she's got her own beautiful one on the go right now, so stop on by to say 'Hi' and see what she's up to!

Night all!!

Jones :)
