My new house


Just a quick post this evening to show you my latest charity shop find. £4 snagged me this lovely wooden house, which is similar to those of Francesca and Nina and was probably last used to display thimbles (judging by the dust on it!). I can't decide whether or not to paint it, what do you think?

  1. I love it just like that - no paint needed!

  2. that's tough. love the natural wood look but a coat of paint might really make it special. I guess I'd say yes, find a fab paint and go for it!

  3. oohhhh, you BITCH! we'd have had fisticuffs over this, i tell you now!!! :) no, i think i'd keep it natural.
    you were SO being twittered about the other night - i twittered about how lovely your new pieces were, and someone re-twittered it, then there was quite a fight! alice won though and bought it, i'm just hoping to get one for christmas as i'm a tightarse, haha xxx

  4. Noooo, don't paint it! If you want to play with colour 'wallpaper' a couple of sections with card inserts - easy to swap.

    Love your blog. Alice (raspberry) sent me.

  6. Ok, I'm keeping it as is! In part due to laziness and in part due to the fear of doing something I can't undo, so yeah a mixture of healthy emotions there!
    Thanks all, glad you likey :)
