The Final Countdown.....and shabby chic furniture


Our three week Easter refurbishment trip is nearly here. Next weekend we will be trying to fit in three times the volume of "stuff" into the people carrier than the volume of the people carrier....excluding people except one driver! So far we have:

One 5 ftx3ft oak table that extends to over 7ftx3ft.
2 sets of boxed hardwood garden furniture for six (2 tables, 4 benches and 4 chairs)
One heat pump 2ft square base weighting 70kg.
Paint, tool boxes, brushes, nails, screws, tile adhesive.........................!
10 boxes laminate flooring for the Children's room.
24 sets white china
12 sets single duvet covers
Egyptian Cotton king/double duvet covers
New pots and pans
Wrought iron bed head
Rugs, throws and cushions

and whatever else can be squeezed into the gaps, I am not sure the newly painted writing desk will count as essential items! It was one of those treacly varnish items, I am pleased how it turned out for a £20 purchase! I have seen similar things on that well known auction site called Shabby Chic Painted French Furniture. Here is my Shabby Chic Painted French English Writing Desk in England..... inside the compartments are some lovely French style papers from the shop which I sealed.
