Good morning to you all from a very sunny West Sussex. We have been doing a lot of de-cluttering here at the house since the sun has come out. There is still a lot to do but I think this sudden rash of tidiness has something to do with the imminent arrival of two more human beings and the fact that I never like to feel hemmed in in any way, shape or form by my home. That means that by this time of year, and after a long Winter, I am scratching at the door to get out like Boo scratches at the sofa (NAUGHTY!!)
The first casualty of what is essentially my ‘Spring Clean’ has been the kitchen dresser. I’ve given it a brighter, lighter, less cluttered makeover and am loving it. Loving it I tell you!
You may remember that this is how it looked at Christmastime. It was fuller and much, much more colourful. But that’s what Christmas is all about. I don’t think that Spring decorating lends itself as well to that type of look. I want to clear out the dust bunnies, the last of the pine needles and put a lot of things away until next year. Which is what is what I’ve done here. I know that all of my ‘stuff’ is still there, in the cupboards, but I don’t need it out on display.
I need the shelves to be clean looking, bright and ready to welcome the sun. Not more dust.
You’ll notice that we have changed the dressers background too. This is a great way to give a piece of furniture a great new look. Using a roll of wallpaper we cut pieces so that they fitted the back of the dresser perfectly and snugly. Attaching them with only a few small pieces of white-tak as they were cut to fit so well.
If the mood takes me I can change the background on a whim in the Summer months but I like this print.
Ahhhhhh, soft white, a wee bit of pink and green, clean clear shelves and sunshine. There’s still a lot to do but here’s to a very happy start!

Hi Cherry
You have some really pretty china. I particularly liked the piece in the centre of Spring Dresser makeover – 5 picture. May I ask where you bought it from?
