The little cupboard makeover...

I finally have a completed 'after' photo to show you. In an earlier post I described deciding to makeover a piece of furniture after being inspired by all of the creative blogs I had been reading. You can read my earlier post here.

Storage is limited in my flat, as is space, so I was very happy with the purchase of this little glass-fronted cabinet on ebay for £20. 

Of course, sanding and painting a piece of furniture in a small flat with no outdoor space was not without its difficulty. I was stepping over paint tins and painted shelves in my sitting room for the better part of a week...not to mention being paranoid that I was going to tip a tin of paint over the floor. Fortunately, no disasters eventuated.

And here is the finished product...

I used Crown period colours eggshell paint - aged white for the outside, and flagon for the interior.

I love this little detail

And it is proving to be handy storage for cd's and sewing supplies

And a gratuitous shot of the orchid as it is so pretty
