Finished.......finally!

Several months ago I saw this canter-lever sewing box sitting in a charity shop. It was in quite a sorry state, screws were missing, hinges broken and it was a horrid orange pine colour. So I bought it and thought it would be an ideal candidate for my first shabby chic project.


                               Here it is in it's original sorry state being modelled by my eldest.





                                                                And here it is painted.




And lined with some of my favourite scrapbook paper.
Now it just needs to be filled with sewing supplies.
(Oh and I need to find some where to put it!)
