Hey Bloggettes,
During the heat wave we have had here in the UK i have not been able to stop myself painting...it is the perfect drying weather and it is so nice to be outside in the fresh air,well fresh unless your using Farrow And Ball paint,i love the finish and the colors but oh lord it is sooooooo strong........

A dirty mirrored shelf from a junk shop.....




A tarnished silver plated cream jug from a junk shop....



Some roses from our garden.......



A dash of Farrow And Ball in Old White gives you....... a fitting throne for the Queen of flowers



Have a wonderful day Bloggettes
Love Kristina XxX

Love the paint job! We have been soggy here in Missouri. Hopefully we will dry out soon, I have some painting I need to get done, too. Lovely post.

What a lovely blog you have here. I love what you've done with that mirror and shelf :o)
I will be moving to a new place and I intend to decorate it as inexpensively as possible, so today I purchase a lovely little oval hall table, from a thrift shop, intending to paint it white/off-white. It's a new venture for me but I'm looking forward to it :o)

You have brought this old piece back to life in such a pretty way. A beautiful day today, perfect for picking more roses for your jug. x

Another of your wonderful transformations!!
I painted some shelves outside in the hot sun and the paint was drying faster than I could reload the paintbrush!

Hope all is well with you Kristina..

Much love
