Cath Kidston Provence rose table




 I bought this from a local charity shop and give it a lick of paint to bring it up to date! I sanded it first then gave it an undercoat and then painted it using Crown Antique Cream. I covered the bottom of the table in Cath Kidston Provence Rose.



I love the way that this project has turned out.
i have two of these tables to buy and they are listed on eBay at the moment if you are interested :)



Handmade Felt Cath Kidston Stanley Decorations


To create this Cath Kidston Stanley dog I used the template which is in the Cath Kidston book Sew! I shrunk the template down to a smaller size to make it suitable to make decorations.

I have had an order for 126 Stanley decorations from a lady in San Diego. she is going to use them to help with a dog rescue project.

Here is the process of making the decorations.

Here is the template that I am using to create the decorations.



I cut out a lot of the pattern ready to sew them up!

Here are some Stanley dog's stitched and ready for the embellishments.



I used brown felt to cut out the ears and stuck them on!

She would like 63 of the dogs with Cath Kidston Provence Rose in blue.



For the other 63 she wanted a more Christmas style pattern so I have suggested these materials!

Which pattern do you like the best?

Cath Kidston table - Before and After


Last week i bought this table from a charity shop. I thought it could look really nice if I brought it up to date. I used some purple paint which i had left over from my bedroom walls and mixed some with white paint to get this lovely lilac colour. I then used my material from Ikea to give it a shabby chic touch. I love the way that it has turned out!



What do you think?

I think doing this with jewellery boxes really brings them up to date!
This one would make a lovely gift!
The measurements of this jewellery box are: L - 25cm, W - 17cm and H- 8cm

Refurbished Cath Kidston Jewellery Box - 3&4

I bought this jewellery box from a charity shop and decided to bring it up to date by painting it cream and covering the glass panel with some cath kidston material.

A few days later i went into another charity shop and found another one of the jewellery boxes but the little handle was missing so i have used a jump ring and an anchor charm to act as a little handle! I painted this in the same paint but used blue material instead!

I am really pleased with these two!

Refurbished Cath Kidston Jewellery Box - 1

I bought this old jewellery box from a charity shop and decided to give it a new look!




I have used Cath Kidston material to cover the drawers and painted the box in cream paint. The top of the box has a glass panel which I have stuck some material to also. When you lift up the lid you can see the glass panel which has a stained glass flower design on it.

Small bird houses



Small wooden bird houses ♥

This is a small wooden bird house painted in a really nice aqua colour. The roof is adorned with Cath Kidston Provence rose material.

This bird house is painted in cream and this roof is adorned with a dusky pink polka dot print.
These bird house measure 12cm x 10cm at the widest paint and are finished beautifully, they would fit nicely in a shabby chic themed room. Especially a bedroom or conservatory!

These are £4.00 each. If anybody is interested, please let me know!
