Sanding, priming, painting...all white!

For some time now I've been wanting to re-arrange a couple of corners in our family room but haven't been inspired with anything.  However that all changed on Saturday morning when I bought this cute little chair from a garage sale for $8.

My ideas snowballed and I was very motivated to get into it! The first thing to do was re-paint an old light pine bar stool. This bar stool has just been hanging around next to the dresser as her partner broke so they got replaced with some new ones!! (the dresser is on my list for a makeover now too!).
Things to paint

 

This was some old shelves that I've had in the spare room with bits and pieces. It was just the thing I needed for my plan...this was also taken down the shed ready for a fresh new look.

 

I have 2 of these picture frames which my Dad made me from some lovely solid rustic timber many years ago. I painted them blue at the time as they fitted in with where I wanted them, BUT they also got targetted to have the 'white treatment'!

Now the results

What a fun weekend...I want to make a small cushion with boxed pleats hanging over for the little chair. I will work on that. 

I am eyeing off many other things around the house now which I can picture looking lovely with the 'white' touch!!
