Brocante Finds at the Fairs


Hello, i'm back with a quick article on some lovely antique furniture items I found on our last Brocante trip to France. I found a few things to sell but ended up finding lots that I wanted to keep for Ayla's room and furnishing our house...

We found a lovely antique wardrobe which I have painted using Annie Sloane chalk paint and lightly distressed...

A very small chest of drawers, these are just perfect for her little clothes to go in and its unusually small...

Other bits found...



A small table - again very small, not sure where this will go yet?



An vintage wooden rocking horse...


 Two little stools...


A set of children's metal chairs. These were originally green, but I sprayed them white and distressed them...


An old kitchen chair that is very wonky...


An old bentwood chair...


An old clock...


A mid-size wardrobe that I have housed my old computer in.

You probably know by now that I quite like white :-)

There is still quite a lot to do on the house but slowly I am getting some furniture pieces together. It is really rewarding when you find old pieces that look in need of some TLC. You put in the effort, you turn them around and they look special.

I have found this adorable little coffee table. He is a handsome little fella with his strong stocky legs...I will be putting this into my Ebay store soon...

Thanks for reading
Au revoir
