A few months ago I had an urge to do something 'crafty.' So I gave the above item a well needed re-vamp. Originally it was an ugly, heavy, dark brown colour. I painted it in cream and mushroom- pink, and filled the inside of each box with wrapping paper and wall-paper off-cuts. I have always had a love of beautiful papers, patterns, butterflies and birds, and this project combined all four! I was quite pleased with the outcome, and I enjoyed doing something completely different to what I would usually do. I've hung it in my bathroom (it's been well varnished) and use it to display my trinkets and treasures, such as perfumes, soaps, candles, jewellery dishes etc. It looks lovely in the morning light......( I apologise if the photos look dark; I was trying to capture the natural light- not sure if I succeeded!)
