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....

  5. Love the blue and white jug, I have a weakness for blue and white. I can understand the obsession with fabric I too suffer from that addiction. Love your comment on my Blog about Mr. G!! Have a great weekend.

  7. 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!)

  11. Love all your blue and white, the little dresser is sweet too, a pretty shade of blue - very vintage chic.
    I 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.
