A while ago I made a very basic table from the left over wood as a cat feeding table – it’s didn’t work out, way too wobbly for the late night leaping to free after eating.
I moved it into the lounge and painted it with Magical Marina by Tjhoko Paints and added little corner pieces with No More Nails.
And I became obsessed with the colour.
All white furniture had to go! Magical Marina was IT!
And some bronze stencilling. I did this project last as the table and stools were high gloss white and I anticipated a sanding struggle. I was right and I still didn’t get it all… The stencilling on the stools only occured to me when I saw the stencil in the shop. Came out better than I thought.
My greatly improved office space.
But I was not finished the green.
Due to loadshedding, I needed a UPS for my router. I’d been undecided for years! Mainly due to expense of installing an entire alternative supply system, but then I discovered router UPS (but still took some time to buy…)
UPS works great even though it has the shortest possible cables – 10cm is all you got to work with. I needed a table to put it on.
Unlike the years it took me to get the UPS sorted, the table was the next week at a charity shop.
Sanding and painting. The shelf was included as it had been on the list for a while but I hadn’t found a colour I wanted from the paper on the back. But when I saw Maestro on TikTok, that was the shelf colour, the table was thrown in to make a pair (and be less Magical Marina overload).
The corner stencil was from an earlier project, a coffee table, and the centre stencil addition to create a border.
But I was not finished with my ‘remove all white furniture’ blitz.
The white of this cupboard was painted Lourian’s Cream, same as the kitchen dresser.
And this chest of drawers went from to Simply Siphiwe, same as the footstool.
There is still sort of one piece left – my wardrobe. I’ve been undecided and am still undecided. I kinda think I’m going to keep the black and white but redo the white to a matter white so it’s not so reflective. While I’m deciding, I did put bronze stencils on the front 🙂
