A Christmas Table



I purchased an old table at a house sale.
I liked it because it was made out 
of solid wood with a shelf under.
As you can see by the legs at the bottom
the finishing had worn of.
 it needed to be refurbished.

 The top needed some work also

I used a small sander and sanded 
over the top lightly
and wiped it down.

I decided to paint it with Chalk Paint in White.
White being my favourite color for furniture.
I applied two coats and a finishing wax.
It turned out to be a nice table.





After placing it in my living room,
I realize it's too high for a coffee table.
I will use it during the Christmas Season
and place it elsewhere after.



Thanks for your visit xo

For the Love of Victorian

I saw this beautiful Victorian
 pitcher and basin 
at a garage sale.
It looked pitiful with the broken handle.
The owner said she had the three broken pieces 
and if anyone was willing to try to repair it,
  They could have it.
Since I like all things Victorian, 
I rescued this beautiful pitcher
and basin and brought it home with
hopes that I could repair it.

I bought some glue for porcelain.
I glued the handles pieces together and 
let it dry a day, before
attaching it to the pitcher.
The cracks can slightly be seen in the handle.

After a day, I glued the handle to the pitcher.

There are a few nicks in the handle that 
I will touch up with paint for glass.

The basin is so pretty.

After doing some research,
I found it was identified as:
Victoria Ware Ironstone Flow Blue
 



There is a large statue/monument with a man
holding something in his hand.
What and where could that be?

For the love of Victorian......
Have a great week everyone.
Thanks for your visit. xo
