The painting of the bookcases continues & I went back to using Annie Sloane chalk paint with matt laquer to seal instead of wax which is new one for me but I did not calculate how much I would need 🤦‍♀️

So here is my second parcel from big shout out to them they deliver soooo quickly & always send little message

Keep watching for the finished painted bookcases … my hands are suffering after this so might be a while 😂

The plan is to give this room a makeover but first I have to move 4 bookcases out of a tiny room & give all the stuff a new home! Before you ask it’s not mine 😂

It’s been a while since I started this revamp of my 80’s jacket!

After removing all the studs & stuff😅 washing many many times before a recolour I decided on some embroidery lazy daisy stitches to hide all the stud holes

Still contemplating what to do next with it 🤔🧵

Maybe another year for the next update ! 🤦‍♀️😂
