Updating a chest of drawers

Living Etc. is a fabulous decor magazine based in London, England. I occasionally treat myself to a copy when I need a pick-me-up and it never fails to make me smile.

Do you have a painting or refinishing project on the go at your cottage? I’d love to see it! Click on the contact link above to send me an e-mail.
