Here is my hall table. I bought it at my local auction a few years ago for about £10. It was brown and drab and had an ugly plastic handle. I gave it a good sand down, primed it and gave it a few coats of Dulux Black Satinwood and gave it a lovely new handle - a £1 bargain from B&Q, and now I love it. I wish I'd thought to take a before shot!!!
The lamp was also from auction - a Laura Ashley lamp. Two for £10. I'll give it a paint job one of these days. Haven't decided if I want to go white or black, but I think it might involve a number and possible a map shade. 
The clock was on sale for a couple of pounds at Tesco a year or so ago, and I bought the bird from either Poundstretcher or Au Naturale - I can't remember, but it only cost me about £1.
The bowl was another auction purchase. I paid £6 for it, but again it is Laura Ashley, and I really liked it.
So that is my thrifty hall table decor. Now I need some pictures for the hall. Something that doesn't cost much. Hmm...
that auction market sounds like a dangerous place to go, not so much for the wallet, but for the space in the house...:)

ReplyDeleteWhat great bargains. The table turned out lovely. You know, I like the lamp base. The handwriting is charming! But I'd love to see what you come up with.
