I’ll share photos of befores and afters to show what some TLC can do to restore beauty to old frames.

My client is very happy!

A labour of love!

I have just started a new job for a client, a metal chandelier that needs a makeover. I don’t often do paint effects, but for this lovely lady I said yes. Each crystal must be wrapped in plastic (no I can’t take them off, which would be easier 😅) and I sand the metal lightly with water paper. Phase 1 accomplished!

I came across a collage of memories of work I’ve done in the past. Take a look ☺️
