ClarasHandMade: Re-cycle, Up-cycle, Re-do

I am constantly inspired by the old to create something new. I adore old doilies, crochet lace and fabrics, they bring me so much joy. I am in love with the Swedish, Shaker and French Châteaux styles. It is a soft, relaxed, feminine, romantic way of decorating that looks comfortable and inviting. My creative process and my drive to create is sometimes random, I like to play around with my fabrics in an unstructured way so I do not always know what I will make but come inside and I will show you.

Re-cycle, Up-cycle, Re-do

Curio cabinet, wall cupboard, painted furniture, hanging storage, cabinet, storage cabinet, white painted, shabby chic

Sad looking green cupboard

Painting going on nicely.

So I bought this little green shelf, curio cupboard, shelf, I don't know what you call it, but the washed green paint effect was awful, I could see runs in it and it was just a nasty shade of green. But I could see this being super cute if painted white. So I bought it and these are the photos of me re-cycling it in to something pretty again. I took out the fret work and replaced it with jolly fabric and I think it looks super sweet now don't you? This small cupboard is now ready for your shabby chic home, it is really versatile and can be used in any room of the home, you can sit it on a sideboard or hang it from a wall. It is currently for sale in my etsy shop. Click on any image to be taken straight to it.

Curio cabinet.

Julia @ Vintage with Laces said...: It turned out wonderful, Clara. What a shame that you passed up on the enamel milk urn. Hopefully you'll have some luck finding another one.
Have a great Sunday!
