I NEED new furniture / Ich brauche Moebel


As we left most of our furniture in England we had to fit out our new flat with new furniture, BUT without spending lots of money we asked friends and family for unused items...and here we go.

Our new wardrobe...well, the glass front doors are missing here and the shelves, BUT I love the end result. Unfortunately I have not tided the new wardrobe, so feeling a bit bad that I can't take a picture of the endend result...;-) 
We cleaned all spiders of it, sanded it down inside and out. We used a green satin colour for the outside and white for the inside of the wardrobe. 



Our new bathroom cupboard and old style chair. We originally wanted to paint the chair but decided after sanding it, that a simple varnish would do the job and it keeps the chair looking original. 
The white cupboard was blue! and took weeks to get the paint of it. I tried sanding it down with a sanding machine, with an hot air gun and with chemicals! Many times I felt like giving up and going to Ikea.

It was originally thought to go into our kitchen. When we moved in there was no space for it in the kitchen and I almost cried...Until we decided to put it in the bathroom. Now it looks like a little old pharmacy cupboard and houses all our toiletries and towels. Apart from sanding for weeks, we gave it two coats of white and treated it against woodworms. The glass fronts had to be replaced too. So far this was the longest and 'endurance' testing project.
