Graffiti the way I like it...
So... what do you do when for the longest time you have been on the hunt for an old, French-style, small, round metal table, rough, vintage, preferably rusty and at a decent price... with no success whatsoever?
Well, one budget-friendly possibility is to give a cheap table from IKEA a new look... Armed with a couple of spray cans - feeling naughty just shaking them -, I attacked the white table with sage green and then a brownish, textured spray paint. Spraying up and down and sideways, my graffiti debut seemed an acceptable success. I have not yet had the time to attack it with a little more brutality, to try to give it that flaking, old look, but for now, it works well as a place to unwind with a glass of pear juice...
The rusty, three-legged friend on the ground is a new addition to the Swenglish rust family (I think it is an old "bird safeguard chimney top", but it works just as well as a plant "gazebo"...). The rest is all old and most certainly previously blogged paraphernalia, just having been prompted to play musical chairs again, moving around, changing places, meeting new friends...
Thank you for all of your comments and good advice after my previous blog post about work-blog-life balance. I will talk more about my thoughts on the subject in a blog post soon.
I wish you a sun-soaked weekend with many soul-nurturing flower-picking opportunities...!
Helena
