And I think it's fair to say you're well and truly part of the #NearlyNewWood Challenge team. We'll have to come up with a uniform of sorts. Just off the top of my head, but I'm envisioning something along the lines of the Power Rangers' suits. I call dibs on the black one. I'm going to hazard a guess and say you're leaning towards the pink suit? The blue is far too dark for your signature palette. <br /><br />You have so many nearly new pieces. Your dining room table is <i>beautiful</i> and has such lovely sentimentalities behind it. And I remember when Lumberjack repainted that dresser years ago! Wow, I seem to be quite the blog stalker. Did I ever mention to you that I spent the entire night at Blogtacular combing your hair as you slept? True story. <br /><br />xx AAlex - The Interior DIYerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08703548291394917949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9596933579669628.post-67052778818406722592014-11-10T09:31:19.953+00:002014-11-10T09:31:19.953+00:00Definitely my cup of tea!

It is something really satisfying when you find THAT piece, it might take a little bit longer than picking it up in a furniture store, but you know you have something unique. Specially if you do a bit of work on it. Proper treassure hunting! xxAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11357828426437463524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9596933579669628.post-31518657995305697082014-11-09T08:36:36.216+00:002014-11-09T08:36:36.216+00:00We only have 1 piece of furniture we have bought n...We only have 1 piece of furniture we have bought new (mainly as a one wage family we havent been able to afford new). My fave piece is a large Welsh dresser I found just around the corner from us for £30. We have been given bits here and there through the years, dining chairs, lounge chairs and a bed. Out of the whole house I think there are only 2 or 3 pieces we intend to take with us when we eventually move to New Zealand, so that should make things a bit easier. I love the whole reuse ethos when it come to furniture, second hand is usually more interesting that new, mass produced stuff.Kiwijohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09645291282643330450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9596933579669628.post-38943582999658784102014-11-09T07:56:25.248+00:002014-11-09T07:56:25.248+00:00Que bonito post, me he paseado por tu bloc y me ha...Que bonito post, me he paseado por tu bloc y me ha encantado, te invito a ver el mío, esta semana seguro que muchos de vosotros no resistiríamos la tentación de comerse un buen puñado de castañas calentitas. Pero sabeu cuál es el origen de esta fiesta? ¿Por qué, año tras año, cuando llega el otoño, nos gusta reunirnos con la familia o con los amigos para tostar las castañas y comérnoslas juntos y por eso adornamos la casa. Os explicare algunas razones y cómo decorar el hogar para esta ocasion, Deseo que te guste y si es así y no eres seguidora espero que te hagas, gracias por visitarme.<br />Elracodeldetall.blogspot.com Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331436763088230570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9596933579669628.post-86801274065420167982014-11-08T17:05:10.640+00:002014-11-08T17:05:10.640+00:00Dear Maria

I love old, pre-loved, 'vintage' stuff - it is usually well made and can be changed as the new owners wish - just like you have done. We have quite a few things from my mum and dad, so there a lots of memories attached to the furniture too, just like your table.<br />Best wishes and here's to making use of pre-loved wooden furniture!<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9596933579669628.post-18477173423535834992014-11-08T15:06:04.144+00:002014-11-08T15:06:04.144+00:00We have a mix of Ikea - quite a lot! - and "v...We have a mix of Ikea - quite a lot! - and "vintage" furniture that we paid a fair bit for and then some inherited things too.
