<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Happy New Year everyone! I am finally catching my breath to do a post about our Christmas and New Year! I hope everyone had a beautiful festive season! I had a very busy end to 2013 and had literally no time to sit down and blog. We are just finishing our holiday after having Christmas at home with all the trimmings ... size 52 turkey this year with the old family recipe for seasoning. The plum pudding went beautifully and Mum was so happy as this year we had a really good skin on it! Topped off with cream and custard it was divine. I took this photo above when we were in Macau at The Venetian Resort as I just thought it was so beautiful and kind of reminded me of Sugar and how also how incredibly gorgeous a pink Cartier watch with diamonds is!</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Hello everyone and happy Friday!!!! I love Friday! I just want to share this beautiful transformation of these Louis 16th style antique chairs circa 1890's with you! I have been working on this project for a long time and it has been a labour of love with many hiccups along the way. My wonderful client, Karin, has been so patient and is so happy and delighted with the results! At the beginning these chairs looked like they were falling apart! That is when I turned to my very good friend and artist extradordinaire, Dee Muir, to help me. Dee has a Bachelor of Fine Art and is an artist and designer in her own right and is head of her own art gallery. When I showed Dee these chairs I am sure she thought I was nuts but she saw the beauty that was within!</i></span></div>

Dee also slightly distressed certain areas of the chair and then pulled through the original colour of the chairs in the pale green (they were a dark, dark green before!)</i></span></div>
