Unit 82

How exciting!!!



Brackley Antique Cellar is the biggest Antique/Vinatge/furniture Centre I have ever been to. There are around 200 dealers selling almost everything and you can spend hours just walking around and admiring antique/shabby chic and collectable items.

I was very pleased when I got an email from the "Cellar" saying that there was a space available (I was on a waiting list for months, that proves how popular the place is)

I went up there to see the unit and loved it, just the right size and a nice location not far from the coffee shop :)

I have had the unit for around 2 months and every time I go up there I spend couple of hours just changing things around.



This photo was taken on my first day. Lots of pictures on walls (to cover the yellow colour.....yuk!), vintage suitcases, table clothes, blankets, tea sets, place and lots more!

This is few weeks ago when I took lots of beautiful vintage table cloths from France, painted tables in Annie Sloan "Paris Grey" and beautifully recovered, by my husband :) in Laura Ashley fabric

Set of 3 tables also painted in Annie Sloan (just love the paint!)







There are certain things that sell like hot cakes; basket and I had 2 beautiful printers trays which I was hoping not to sell and keep them to myself :) Hopefully I can find few more somewhere.







Also tape, magnets and cards from Dots and Spots which I admire and the colours just look so beautiful on my stand

The weeks fly by and it is going better that I expected.

I will be going to my unit on Bank Holiday Monday. I have many great bits and bobs to take with me. I will also take more photos to post on my blog.

You should visit if you are passing Brackley and don't forget I am Unit 82 :)

Work in progress......

Since we moved in into to our Victorian town house we could not decide which bedroom should be the master bedroom.....1 year and 3 months later we managed to make our minds up.

We got my dad to wallpaper the whole bedroom in lovely Laura Ashley wallpaper called "Wilton".

The wallpaper can be seen just behind the chair. The room looks great now!

I am proudest of a chandelier I purchased in the most amazing antique place

This place is filled with antiques, shabby chic furniture and hand made goodies.

We have not decided about the carpet but the wardrobes will be painted in lovely off white colour (not sure which one yet).
There is a beautiful, French looking display unit in our bedroom at the moment. The plan should be to paint it and keep it in the bedroom but there is no way we can fit all of our shoes, clothes and my bags in this "tiny" unit.

You must all agree that the French style wardrobe (with Annie Sloan's treatment) would look fantastic in our new bedroom :) as well as the Victorian (Edwardian?) chest of drawers!

This is how I imagine our window in the bedroom.....window dressing as per picture from a magazine and fabric in duck egg blue from Laura Ashley or something a bit more expensive (fabric in the middle) :)

I cannot wait to show you all the end result and hopefully this will happen very very soon.
