Recently I have gone back to my roots and got stuck into some furniture painting! I restored this large oak blanket box (being expertly modelled below by Milo!) and painted it a gorgeous olive colour and added a bird and floral design transfer. That sounds pretty simple but if you had seen (and smelt!) the state of the blanket box you’d understand how much work went into it in the prep stage so I thought it would be a good time to share a quick ‘how to’ with you all.

We are becoming increasingly aware of the need for us all to be more eco-conscious – and here at Shabby Nook we are looking into ways to reduce our carbon footprint and impact on the world. It will be an area we always look to improve. We already re-use boxes that our deliveries arrive in by cutting up them up to use as box toppers in our own parcels, and all the packaging we use in our deliveries is reused and/or recyclable. But one thing we haven’t done yet is shout about it and make sure our customers know this!
