It’s taken me a few weeks, but I have finished my second bedside cabinet for the spare room. Hoorah! It looks awesome – especially with it’s funky drawer pulls!
The distressing came out really nicely on this one. I only did one coat of white, which made the sanding process way quicker than the last one. I also think the overall finish is better. Still happy with my first attempt but this is definitely my favourite of the two. The drawer pulls were the absolute perfect colour as well!
I opted for a crackle glaze ceramic finish (it was one that Dave hated the least!!) and the colour is spot on. After looking all over the place, I finally bought mine from Knobbles and Bobbles on eBay – you can visit their shop here. They’ve got some lovely coat hooks that would match beautifully as well, which I may buy for the back of the door once I’ve finished work on the bed. We shall see!

| A little before and after for you! |
Whilst talking about the spare bedroom, I made a massive mistake on my blanket last night – actually a few days before, by the look of it! I somehow managed to make a 9 sided octagon, which I think is a really special skill. Not so much when it comes to crochet though. I obviously got complacent, wasn’t counting properly, and bodged the entire block. So I frogged the last cream section last night, and have started the block again this evening. I will frog the rest of the previous one another night. It’s so frustrating though, as it’s actually my last block of the set! Onwards and upwards though, with lots of careful counting from now on!
