Becky's Vintage Home

Inspired by yet another of my girl crushes- Kirsty Alsopp (basically I have a crush on all well-spoken, brunette women who wear vintage) I got a bit crafty towards the end of my pregnancy.

It is perhaps not advisable to spend your third trimester on your hands and knees with a scraper, sand-paper, paint stripper and two pots of bue paint- but that's what I did. (It didn't make the little blighter come out any earlier!) This is is result:


Please excuse the unmatching decor in our flat- we rent- but one day this dining set will sit pride of place in an expertly co-ordinated eat-in kitchen and it will all make sense.

It all turned out rather well I think, though J made the seat pads because, apparently I have a fear of staple guns. 

If you want to have a crack at your own Kirsty's 'how to' can be found here: http://youtu.be/aZLpYhnqEOA
