When I don't have furniture to makeover I just look around my place and always stumble upon something to upcycle, refresh or embellish.
Our vintage wood stove is the protagonist of the project today. As for family furniture and antiques I have told about on the blog, most of them belonged to my Mum and I am so grateful to have kept them from her last removal and so happy to care them all. I guess I inherited her taste for antiques and ancient treasures. As far as I remember my childhood, there was no modern piece of furniture at home, not a single one; most of our interiors were more than 50, 80 or 100 years old!

So, we have this wonderful antique wood stove in our lounge and after hours milk painting and hemp oiling, I made up my mind for the stove!
It's a beautiful mixture of green ceramic and cast iron, probably from early 20's as it has an art-deco style which was typical from LUX at that time.

I chose the Garden Seed color from Homestead House milk paint and started my painting project. A coat of hemp oil was the final touch.
