Hello. There hasn't much crafting going on around here lately. My eldest is still very poorly, she picked the worst time really because it is her last week at Primary School before starting High School in September. She is getting better slowly though.
I have only done a little bit of crochet as I can't seem to really get going on anything. I have done a couple of makeovers though and this one is my favourite at the minute. I found this little cabinet in the local charity shop for £1. It had a few bits missing and was a bit wobbly but I was up for the challenge.
Here is the before....
And here, after a few coats of paint and a bit of wallpaper is my new little cabinet....
I used some wooden beads on the top to replace the missing parts and an earring instead of a doorknob. I haven't yet decided where it will go or even what it will be used for but I am quite impressed by how it turned out.
Take care.
