What a gorgeous day we’ve had! Today was the turn of best buds, Josie & Lynn for their Intermediate Level workshop. 🎨 Lynn wanted to match her mirror frame to her stunning Pewter Victorian style radiators in her cottage. Josie wanted to graduate colour on panelling for her outdoors ‘Egg Chair’ using Frenchic Al Fresco, due to its waterproof and robust qualities. They were so much fun and did such successful pieces. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks ladies. 🧑🏻‍🎨🧑🏼‍🎨 • #nestevegate #bestfriends #experiencesoverthings #frenchicpaint #smallbusiness #workshops #paintingclass #pewter #eggchair

Great Basic Skills workshop today with this lovely mum and daughter duo. 💕 We had a busy afternoon learning how to prep properly and the benefit of applying a basecoat correctly, to achieve a better overall finish. 🎨 With winning choices of Frenchic ‘City Slicker’ and ‘Posh Nelly’, these old orange pine pieces came up beautifully. 🧑🏻‍🎨🧑🏼‍🎨 Thanks for a fun session ladies! 💟 #nestevegate #frenchic #paintslikeadream #upcycle #greyhome #mumanddaughter #newskills #diy #relovedfurniture

So lovelies... Which item would you like to see have a makeover for charity? ⚒ Answer in the comment section below with 1-6 and maybe an idea of what you’d like to see done to the piece. 💡 Did you see our announcement earlier today about raising money for the Evelina Children’s Heart Organisation? 🔎 We will be working on this furniture during February, which is National Heart Month and then selling it and donating all money raised to the charity. 💰 Our daughters, Isabel and Polly both live with congenital heart defects, we want to use our skills and platform to raise money for ECHO, something we have done since 2016 after Polly’s second open heart surgery aged 6 months. 💔 You can read all about them by clicking on this link: https://echo-uk.org #heartmonth #nestevegate #evelina #congenitalheartdefect #reflexanoxicseizures #aorticvalvereplacement #openheartsurgery #evelinachildrensheartorganisation #pacemaker #rosskonnoprocedure #coarctationoftheaorta #fundraiser #nhs ♥️ Show us the Love ♥️

It’s Aimees first day working at Nest! ✨🙌🏼✨ Today she’s working on the restoration of an old Victorian box. Carefully cleaning it up with sugar soap, white spirits and wire wool, then protecting the existing patina with water based lacquers and waxes. This beautiful old box has the image of an Art Noveau style black cat hand-painted to the lid which we will preserve. 🐾 Welcome to the club Aimee! 🖤 • #nestevegate #midnightmagpie #artnoveau #victorian #woodwork #apprentice #preserve #restore #renovate #relovedfurniture #relove #blackcat #blackcatsofinstagram
