Upcycling – Lockdown Style
Sitting in the house all day, staring at the same four walls, having the same conversations about how little we have in the calendar has taken its toll on us all. We have so little going on we’ve started to get excited about the Asda delivery, which gives you some idea of just how bored we all are! Getting an email, letting you know that ‘Shaun is on his way’ and shouting the news throughout the house just isn’t normal but that’s where we are right now!
So, not being able to stay out of the house for any length of time and with the weather making venturing out less and less tempting by the day, Rachel has a project in mind. She’s got hold of a very solid, quite big-ish oak cabinet which she’s going to refurbish. Her paints are out, the dining room table has been pushed aside and when I wander in for a brew, she’s on the floor with a paint brush in hand, having already sanded and cleaned it up a bit.
Once it’s had a few coats, I’m drafted in to move furniture around in the lounge where it’s going to live and it fits the space really nicely to be fair. I wasn’t convinced at first but she’s done a great job and even a minor change to our surroundings is very welcome.
Some new handles are on their way from Amazon too, so that’s another delivery van we can all look forward to! We’re living the dream!
