purple metallic – unicornpostbox

Hi everyone! My latest UnicornPostbox blog post is progression photos of a decoupaged purple and white dressing table, upcycled for the Children’s Air Ambulance… hope you enjoy! 😊

I started this upcycling project by first cleaning with a spray and sanding with a mouse sander. I painted then all over with a chalky white paint, a few coats, including the inside of the drawers. I decoupaged a purple patterned wallpaper onto the bottom drawer, stuck and sealed with mod podge. I painted the top two little drawers metallic purple, and screwed on golden knobs onto all the drawers. I also painted the back of the dresser and the back of the mirror with the white chalky paint. I cleaned the glass with windowlene. The final step was to seal with a furniture paint lacquer… and here is the end result!

I am actually really proud of this one! I think it’s one of the best I’ve done! It’s so pretty 🥰 Some of my colleagues have said how you can tell I’m improving, which is lovely to hear…

Shortly, I am going to Scarborough..so keep a look out for a future travel post! I am also on with my latest diamond art…

Thank you as ever for reading/ viewing…

All the best, Lauren xx

Hi everyone! My latest blog post is progression photos of an upcycled hat/coat hanger, for the Children’s Air Ambulance..hope you like! 😁

I started by gently washing the hat/coat hanger, and hand sanding. I painted a metallic gold, with three coats. Also, the tip I jazzed up by painting purple, to give it a bit of character and uniqueness. To finish, I sprayed protective lacquer to seal… and here is the end result;

I am pretty pleased with how this one has turned out.. I think it’s full of elegant charm and sophistication.. Hope you agree, haha! 😆

My next upcycling project for the Children’s Air Ambulance is perhaps a girlie dressing table, and I’m also in the process of completing another diamond art 🎨 💎.. so watch this space!

Thank you as ever for reading/viewing.. All the best, Lauren xx
