kitchen blues......
This small kitchen dresser base with battered enamel top would be a quirky addition to a retro style kitchen......small enough for me to take to a Fair without filling the car completely.....
I think I will leave the blue paint and just tidy up the handles with wire wool and polish and clean the enamel top.
As I was doing my "David Bailey" photo shoot outside, it started to rain..... surprise, surprise.... so the rest of today's blue goodies had to go inside to be photographed......
I know..... more curtains and cushions......
That is why I am called The Cloth Shed......or as my lovely brother says....The Clot Head.....because I am obsessed with fabric and he can't understand why!
Thanks....

I completely understand your obsession with fabric. Have a wonderful day. x

Hi Julie
ReplyDeleteI have just been speaking to Hazel who did the feature on your home. Which month were you in so that I can look at it, I have copies of C H & I going back yrs.
Thanks, Ruth
I thought being obsessed with fabric was completely normal!! My husband knew as soon as we went into the shop in Peebles (Tuesday's post) that I would by that fabric ...... he doesn't even ask any moe what I'm going to do with it! (but then he has started to feed his wood addiction!)
ReplyDeleteIs that a big jug? A big jug from a jug and bowl set ???
ReplyDeleteI agree entirely, I too am totally obsessed by vintage & antique fabric, I must also be a Clot-head! I adore all the colour, texture and pattern in this post, a real feast for the eyes & senses. Lois x

ReplyDeleteLove all your blue and white, the little dresser is sweet too, a pretty shade of blue - very vintage chic.
ReplyDeleteI love fabrics too as you know and when I see a dealer friend at the vide greniers he always asks if I've managed to buy any 'rags' today.
Take care.
