My workshop

This is my lovely workshop! Somewhere on the outdoor porch, somewhere on the dining table, my workshop could be anywhere... My husband loves photography and takes great shots when I am in the middle of a project, especially with paint. To see progress on the workshop makeover, please scroll down to the end and check last pictures scrolling up!
I will be updating with more pictures. Enjoy...

Great new @ my workshop!
Last April many articles in the hardware store I buy from were promoted at great prices and I bought a mitre saw. I have been cutting dozen of reclaimed wood pieces and pallets planks to get some practice so I now have a huge amount of them and re-use them for any recycling wood project I have in mind.

This is what I used to cut with my compass saw... The cuts are now much more precise!

A while ago, I decided to customize all my painting pots and had my logo stuck on them so don't be surprised if you see the vintage car on every pot!

This family piece of furniture is actually my nº1 paint and tools storage; I don't know what could I do without it... I store every single piece of my hardware, wax and painting stuff in it. This is the BEFORE picture. As everything is on the outdoor terrace I decided to makeover the entire wall turning this space into a warm and cosy creative area.

My kitchen rack pots

www.annecharriere.com, anne charriere vintage, kitchen rack pots,

Hi there, Last September I mentionned something about some antique stuff I could get from my family place in France; you can read it here if you missed it. I remember my Mum using these saucepans when making her jam...

They are entirely made of copper and have their own cover. The main issue is their weight, they're a quite heavy and this is the reason why it took so long to have them hanging above the kitchen island. My first intention was to use a plank palet wood as a frame and screw hangers on it. I then changed my mind and decided to hang a reinforced curtain stick but I finally came back to the first idea and this is it! I like the result and how it looks above the island. Check out BEFORE and AFTER photos as well as the DIY process.
