With Christmas approaching we're thinking about bringing our plans together and getting ready for the day. It's a busy time of year for many of us. If you're hosting a family day at yours this year you're no doubt running around getting things tidied up at home in readiness. And as you know, there is always something to do! It's surprising what a 'lick' of paint can do in the garden and outdoor areas - a coat of paint on the fence, outdoor furniture, pots and planters will make a massive difference to your entertaining space. Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint is ideal for indoor or outdoor projects, so it's the only paint you need. Our fence is looking so much better! Pots and planters refreshed with Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint in Jet. Makes such a difference. The great thing about these projects is that they're QUICK + EASY!
In an afternoon you can have all of your pots and planters looking beautiful for the Summer. Go for a classic look with Jet or for something bright or funky try Aqua, Jade or Ruby. Check out our paint range here.

If you're like me, you like quick results. With a textured finish, you get just that, and it's very easy too. This gorgeous finish can be applied just as this one is, with one colour of Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint only or you can add a wash of another colour, a dry brush effect or more textured random colours for a layered effect. I love nothing more than experimenting, and that's exactly what I've done with this piece. Check out the video and let me know what you think.

This time we were headed to Thames, a New Zealand town which became the second largest city in the country when gold was discovered there in 1867. Robyn originally studied textiles and design in Wellington before becoming involved in costume for the television and film industry where she spent 17 years. In more recent years she furthered her study with a Diploma in Interior Design and then launched Insider. Her store at The Depot in Thames is an absolute delight with everything from cushions to Christmas decorations, lighting, fabrics, and much more. And, Bite Deli is right next door... perfect I say! Here's a sneak peek inside. A beautiful collection of Christmas decorations. Pretty. Beautiful soft furnishings and accessories. Even more Christmas decorations! Cushions, linen and foliage. Next time you're looking for a day out, head to Thames. With it's cafes, coastline and raft of creatives I'm sure you'll have just as much fun as I did.
