Painted Furniture

Tim Burton Inspired Painted Chest of Drawers

I have recently moved house and have been busy redecorating trying to make this "house a home"

I've been busy stripping layers of wallpaper, cleaning, painting walls & murals - and also furniture!

There was an old chest of drawers in my bedroom and I really disliked it's style, so I decided to paint it to match the room's theme (black & white monochrome with little blasts of red)

Here's what the piece looked like before painting

I started by painting the entire piece black

(Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint - Graphite)

I then painted the inside of the drawers a deep red

(Annie Sloan's Chalk Paints - Emperor's Silk)

And I finished the inside of the drawers with a rough textured coat of Dark Wax

(from the Annie Sloan Range)

to give it that rustic, aged look

Here's what the chest of drawers looked like upon completion

(*NOTE: Needs to be finished with a clear wax, to protect it and to give it a nice, soft sheen finish)

"Fun Buns" Logo

*Work in Progress*

A friend of mine is opening up her own cupcake business and has asked me to design the logo for it.

The companies name is "Fun Buns" and hopefully will be collaborating with an American tattoo artist (NY) on this project.

Watch this space!

Keep those eyes peeled for current work updates and further sneak peaks :)

The Next Fairytale in the "Once Upon an Ever After" Series

Introducing...

'Little Red'

Introducing 'Little Red'

Part of my 'Once Upon an Ever After' Series

Little Red is going to be a voluptuous "pin-up" style character, who gets up to plenty of mischief in the forest!

And it looks like I'm not the only one doing a take on this well known tale.

Irish singer, Cathy Davey, has just released the official video to her song "Little Red," which is very quirky and unique. It can be viewed here

There is also a film being released soon, "Little Red," directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen, Twilight) It looks to be an interesting take on the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood,' who is not so little any more! Like my version, she is now a woman.

From the trailer, it seems she is torn between two men, in somewhat of a love triangle, and to top it off, there's a werewolf on the loose causing havoc.

Well ain't that a dilemma and a half?

Intrigued? You can take a look at the trailer here
