my little shed has undergone a bit of a transformation... my much loved vintage wallpapers have been replaced and bright blue cupboards swapped for neutral white.... I papered over the patterns in a moment of madness but I love how it looks now....
the new paper is textured anaglypta which I really love... (thrifted some years ago for 99p...I knew it would come in handy one day)
the little shelf got a lick of paint and the suitcases were filled and stacked....
....new curtains too, made from some very fine 1960's dress fabric...I have saved some of this to make myself a dress so I can blend in to the background (sherlock holmes stylie)
having a white background means I have better backdrops for photos and although I loved all those vintage patterns, once the shed started to fill up with fabrics and things I had made it felt very cluttered and a bit claustrophobic... (note to self..hold fire with the crazy patterns when decorating until you have moved all your stuff in)
I didn't think it was possible to love my little shed any more ... but I do and the best bit is it only took a day...some cheap wallpaper and a couple of tins of paint to transform... I wish it was this quick to do the rest of the house :)
I am hoping to spend a bit of time in there this week and work on some new things...we have one boy back at school and one at home...so I will see how that works out...
at least now I have destashed some fabrics there is room in there for another chair so maybe me and #2 can sit in there and get crafty together...
happy days :)
