Sideboard

Coutainville · **Posted: 09-06-2008 , 07:54 PM** #1

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!

Beckie · **Posted: 09-06-2008 , 08:31 PM** #4

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

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.

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!
