This week I renovated an Ercol cupboard for use in my studio. Being Ercol and of its time, it is an ideal size and shape - nice and narrow, not too cumbersome. It has just enough room for many of the items I use for direct orders that come through from my online shop.
When this piece of furniture was given to me it had been stored in dry sealed barn for a number of years, desperately in need of some TLC. I brought it home and sat it next to a dehumidifier and gave it a good scrub down. Once it was in my studio I didn’t have the time I’d hoped to fully sand it down and strip the varnish off the cupboard (although this is something I may do in the future!). So I bought a tin of my favourite eco - Farrow and Ball paint and gave it a nice coat leaving some parts in its original birch colour. These are some of the results. It always feels good to get organised.
