two small tables were dark dark brown and i painted them up white.
as you can see i am marking off edge as the edge and legs were painted in mushroom colour and decals got at lidl were used on top.
both are side by side in the hall now.
the dresser consists of an old bedroom chest of drawers.
a kitchen press and a book case.
i cut out the bevel surrounds for the bottom part and put in some old wallpaper.
this wallpaper used again in the kitchen cupboard middle section.
i stil have to trim the top with some nice wood i do have.
also considering changing the green to lime as its a bit dull for me!
some knobs of course have to be put on.
i am painting up old wooden ones in found purple/mauve paint as i did on the beveled boxes part.

ah thanks,
still a lot of work to do on the dresser.
the middle section i think would look better the other way round as the handles are at the top.
i tried to get these off, as did a man - or two, and we couldnt, so they have to stay.
tried to paint them but that wasn't working so they are as they are until i think again!!

Excellent work, I wish I had half the DIY talent of some of the people on here.

aaah, yes i did, but will try tame it down a bit. i did so cos this green was quite dull and i didnt know how it would fit in the room, i like the lime but very strong so will tame it down a bit and then it should work well.
