Sideboard
 

Hi all, especially to Beckie who gave us this fab sideboard which now graces our play room and holds lots of toys. Here are the Before & After pics and we love it...

LOL, no those are wall stickers...I have the vision but lack the talent unfortunately!

It is gorgeous and just shows what can be done with a little imagination and a lot of elbow grease.... Well done!

well done coutainville
 

Well done coutainville... it looks fantastic. I'm really pleased it's found a good home. Imagine, it sat in my garage for a few years and at one stage i came close to dumping it but hadnt got the heart to.

congrats again

Beckie

Wow,I think that is absolutely gorgeous :)

Well done to you,you've done a great job! (Can I be first in line if you decide you don't want it any more?! LOL!!)

wow that is fab well done countainville
excellent job!!!

cheers marie

phew!
 

Thank goodness you liked it Beckie, I was only concerned you might have thought it was desecrated!

I loved decorating it, had a vision of how it would be right from the start. We recently moved house to Killaloe and it seemed like an omen when I went into the paint shop and exactly the colours I was after were on a card marked killaloe...

I used high gloss paint even though the lady in the paint shop told me matt was more popular; I told her I was setting a trend, not following one...well it must have worked cos I spend so much time in that shop the owner recently asked me if I was an interior designer. I wish!

Still I really enjoyed doing this piece and my children enjoy the finished article. Thanks to Beckie again. And Narizota Ill keep you in mind, lol.

Brilliant job, the colours are beautiful. I would never have thought of using a side board as toy storage, the 1st thing i'd think of is cups & delph. I wish i had great idea's like that!

Well done,
colmsmum.

Memories !!!
 

This lovely sideboard was once mine a good many years ago, and I loved it to bits but had to let it go as I no longer had room for it when we divided our sitting room. I was really excited to see it on JT when Beckie put it up, but even more so when she pm'd me to check the forum tonight !!!
You are a very talented girl Courtainville and I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it, as I did when it was mine. Thank you for giving it a good home!

Wow! You did a fabulous job on that! I love seeing what can be done with imagination and elbow grease! Wonderful - well done...Unapam

Beautiful!
 

You did such a good job! It's beautiful, very artistic and I do love your choice of design. Wild animals while they're still alive (Pray we may turn the tide and keep them all alive). Fabulous! Congratulations!

We should have a dedicated before and after section so those of us who are not so gifted can get inspiration from those that are...

Hi Stuarty,

A similar suggestion was made a few days ago by another Member. The Managers of the site are currently considering this idea; Admin willl let Members know of any changes to the site's format.

I LOVE it!!!

Hi, I got mine in the local health food shop! It's in clare. But I've seen them elsewhere so I'm sure they're available here and there!

Fabulous piece of furniture. Well done.

That is fab, have printed out the pic to show it to my niece.

Fantastic
 

A job very well done. What a difference. I literally went "wow". And that looks like one proud bunny in front of it too!

woooooooo
 

That's freakin awesome :o)

This is fabulous Coutainville!! Can't wait until my little frog is big enough to have her own room (and until the house is big enough...), I gonna try something similar. Only with ladybugs. You are really gifted!

Regards,
p

brilliant!

I have to say thank you for the inspiration. I got a similar sideboard from dublinwaste.ie. I don't have a "before" picture of it but it looked more or less like yours - all stained and scrached. The result is attached. Can't wait to have my little boy's room finished so I can put it in it. :-)

Wow,hackytza!!

That is amazing,too :)

I love the colours and I bet it'll look great in your little boy's room!

I have a sideboard to paint and I should just choose the paint and get on with it,really!

Thanks and best of luck to you Narizota. Upload the pics when you have it done so we can admire it.

Wow, just spotted this now from link from furniture forum. Fabulous work, deserves to go to the top of the forum again. Probably plenty of people like me who missed out on earlier posts. Well done, Eibhlin.

Gorgeous!!! I would never think of doing that! The stickers work fantastic!
