This small chest of drawers was found outside a charity shop, getting wet in the rain! It looked like it had been kept outside for quite sometime and had maybe been kept in a barn as it had mud and dirt inside and out plus mouse droppings! I knew it would take a bit of hard work but for £4 I couldn't leave it! I love a bit of thrift!
I blogged about it here previously but I still want to post the before and after's in the same post so you get the full effect of the difference made in my hard work!! Excuse the wobbly photos!
So as you can see, it involved a lot of hard work but it has all been worth it! Has it's own little dents and bashes but it all adds to the character! Now I just need to think of where I want to put it!!
You made a lovely job of it, well done!
