My dresser (that I bought for £30 including delivery when I moved here back in 2020) had become so cluttered and messy over the past few years, I just DIDN’T want to deal with it, especially as I was so busy with my full-time job.
BUT there is a positive side to now working for myself (I quit my job January 1st) in that cleaning and tidying my dresser is now actually part of my work day as I prepare areas of the house where I can start photographing food for my 1st recipe book! I am SOOOO excited to not only find time to clear my junk filled dresser, but it now looks more like I wanted it too before it started to get used as a dumping ground (by me).
I thought I’d film while I cleaned so part 1 of the video is above, hope you enjoy it!
Part 2 will be tackling everything that is crammed in the cupboards underneath so I’ll film that when I get the strength!
I think it looks a lot better now and while it does need some finishing touches, it looks far less cluttered and is making me smile more!
I’d love to perhaps paint it one day but that requires time and effort and I have more pressing matters right now such as writing the book (I can’t believe that I’m doing this, I smile in the morning when I wake up it brings me such joy!)
Am also thrilled to find the time to blog again! It reminds me of the old days when blogging was THE social media of it’s day and fills me with nostalgia.
Much love, C xxxx
That looks lovely, and will be a great backdrop for your filming. Loving the wee berylware collection!
Thank you xxx It looks a lot better now, am glad I spent time doing it xx.
Ooh dresser envy… what colour would you paint it I wonder! xx
Honestly, not sure but maybe Tala cream and green? haha! The last dresser I painted (which I have upstairs, was a bluey green) – not sure but I know it could possibly be a paint project later this year xxx C
Looks great. You have beautiful things. I always have thoughts about my beautiful things being used, on display, or worse, hidden away. I am getting where I use them and almost cry when one hits the floor and shatters. Hi
Wearywolf Adventures is very good with the ration diet videos. He was mentioned on Rebecca’s comments
Oh gosh I know, it’s horrible when you lose something treasured but it gives you so much pleasure using them. I compromise and use my old crockery and cups at weekends. Ah yes, Weary Wolf Adventures, I’ve just subscribed! Thanks xxxx
I love the rustic look of your dresser and the china looks lovely.
Thank you so much, it was a cluttered mess until recently and it looks so much better since I tidied it and put out my china xxxx C
