Restoration

So ever since discovering two very old near enough wrecked boxes in my neighbours shed I have become a bit addicted to restoring them so here are several of my projects :)

Above is the first box that I got from the neighbours shed to restore that got me hooked!


This was the second box I restored I found this bargain at a car boot sale for £10. When I walked in the door with it my mum said "what on earth have you bought now?!" she quickly changed her mind and now that it is decorated it she has claimed it as her coffee table!!!!!!!!



 This is my third box which took a huge amount of work, although my dad bought some amazing stuff for me which saved even more time it was called peel away and was very powerful and took all the layers of old paint and stains off in one go!
