Yesterday I put the finishing touches on this dresser. Huge piece of work but so pleased with the end result! All done with @frenchicfurniturepaint in Hot as Mustard, Lady Grey and a Copper Frensheen wax. Just need to get the right knobs and it is ready to go! Workshops available if you want to play around with different finishes!

Sneaky peak at the colours of the dresser that I am so close to finishing! So pleased with it😊 @frenchicpaint of course! Hot as mustard, Lady Grey and Copper Frensheen. #hastobefrenchic

Finished product! Using up left over @frenchicpaint - mixture of Parma violet, Duckling and Blackjack - rim is Hornblower sponge over the main colour with Gold Frensheen - Decoupage covered in the gold too! #hastobefrenchic #brandindemand #bestpaintintheworld

So,..... Working on this today to use up some @frenchicpaint #alfresco Testers and then realised I could have a new line in #hats 😂 might even rival @hatsforher 😉 Finished product will be posted tomorrow 😊

Loving this gold framed mirror we found! In great condition, 106cm x 129 cm, can be hung vertically or horizontally and it looks awesome on our Frenchic-ed sideboard! Available now 😊

Something so romantic and cottage - esque about a window box 😍 My favourite plant to use would be lavender, what would you put in it? Matching pair available!

So many new goodies in the shop. Love candles? @stevalcandles - church pillar candles are a perfect match for these solid solid carved wood candlesticks. To paint or not to paint??? 🤔🤔

A big thank you to Sue for sharing this lovely set of drawers cleverly painted by her husband Graeme in Frenchic Furniture Paint Anguilla and then finished with defining wax. A change of knobs and it looks like a completely different piece! Awesome!

We will be Warbrook House for this worthy cause, come and see us and many other small businesses. We are all helping to contribute to the Neonatal unit. Looking forward to it!

We are so excited about getting hold of this stunning chair. The turned legs and back along with beautiful ornate carvings make it a unique eye catching piece 😍😍

Such a brilliant, relaxed and fun workshop today with Yvonne and Rosie! We battled the heat and won. Had a great play with more advanced techniques and then let them loose! Just loved it! Thank you both for such a great day!

Edwina Brush hands! Intermediate @frenchicpaint painting course today @absolutelymintage1 Great fun and lots of new techniques on show!

Can anyone help me who might know Yvonne who is attending my workshop on Sunday? I am trying to send an email which is bouncing back and need to get hold of her. Yvonne if you are there can you call or message me or anyone who knows her if they could just let her know! many thanks !!!!
