Painted tables and Pampas grass

Read in Swedish: Färdigmålade bord och pampasgräs

We had two old tables which I decided to paint and to have them outside, in our garden. First white  primer paint...

Then I sketched a pattern on the tables with a pencil and started to paint with colours I found in our store room...

Next step was to make these illustrations first with chalk and then with silver colour.

From one thing to another...

I really like those lovely high white "feather dusters" looking a little bit like reed. I'm not completely sure but it seems to be "Pampas grass" or Cortaderia selloana in Latin. They're quite common here as decoration in the gardens. On my wish list!

Best wishes!

Painted an old childrens highchair

This old highchair has been used frequently once upon a time, for all our four kids. It has also been used at our restaurant in Crete(closed, and gone now...)and at an aptmshotel we were managing. So I must say it is really strong!

We might as well have it at our new cafeteria here in Glyfada then, I thought, and decided to paint it. At  Cheers café we have the colours grey, limegreen and brown - wanted the highchair to match.

Felt like the most fun childrens colour of the three, limegreen, was a little bit to much for the place and I didn't want to paint it in grey. So I went for chocolate brown with some small sketches in silver colour.

Very clever highchair I must say with its three functions!

Have a wonderful evening!
