Cooler to holder



From stained and dingy wine cooler to fresh and white utensil holder. A couple of layers of undercoat and a few layers of white on top and I'm no longer disgusted looking at it.  I'm still considering whether to leave it plain or add a graphic from Graphics Fairy.

Card from old dictionary


  Card made from old dictionary pages printed over with graphics from 
Graphics Fairy and a few other bits I found laying around.
I made it as a thank you card for my SIL  because she generously contributed
to my birthday trip to Paris.

Edit: Found it!

I found a before picture of the table.
Here it is in all it's old fashioned glory

I just want to assure you that this kind of mess is not (quite) the normal state of my home but actually the result of a very good Christmas morning!

Out of the dark into the light















Just after diving in to this project I realized I forgot to take a before photo but you probably get the idea from the half painted table and the glass top leaning against the radiator.
The red peeking in to the picture was going to replace the green but as it turned out, leaving it plain white looked far better.
