As a part of my "if you right it down, it will help you get it done process" I thought I would upload some pics of my "gonna do" projects round my house.
Firstly we have my set of 3 tub chairs with lounge. I love the old fabric on these chairs and plan on re-upholstering them. I have been playing with ordering some samples from the US of some designer fabrics but have confused myself as to what pattern or print to use. I boughts these from Vinnies
The second pic is my set of 3 wingbacks which I also intend on re-upholstering. Will get there one day. Vinnies was my source for these puppies.
The third pic is my Karmann "Gidget". This is another project. I hope to have the floor pans replaced on her early this year if I can co-ordinate the shipping of the pans. I bought the Karmann on ebay and love it deeply.
The fourth pic is of a lovely claw foot ROUND bathtub that I picked up from "the junk man" in town. He is not really a junk man, he actually stocks a great range of ex-building stock items and the odd lovely item like this... we just call him the junk man round here! My bathroom in my house is actually quite modern, but I don't like my corner shower and I planned on restoring this tub for my bathroom. Don't worry, it it not rusted and does not need to be re-enameled.
The fifth pic is of a mahogany kitchen sideboard that I bought from one of those import shops here. I actually bought 3 pieces from the same shop and planned to sand the white and black cow print paint back and white wash them all. I have changed my mind and bit now and am thinking of "stripeing" this piece with black and gold paint. Anyways, it has been sitting half sanded back under my house for some years now.
The next pic is of a bookshelf that was from Freedom. This was one of the first pieces of furniture that I bought when I left school and started university. I now hate the look of the item, but it is a good size and I plan to white wash it and then fix my display. I don't actually read for fun so I need to fill the shelf with something else and get rid of my fake books.
The last pic is of some old 1910 silky oak chairs I bought off ebay. Now that my house is painted white I would like a bold black and grey stripe or something on the seats.
So these are some of the things I hope to get done this year! There are others like chaises, doors, outdoor 60s furniture settings, but I guess they will just be uploaded when I get to them... this year I am gonna try and get there!
