I'm really excited about my new DIY project as it means I get to use all of the tools I got for Christmas and learn some new skills along the way. I'm completely making it up as I go a long so It's very much trial and error.
The image in the top left corner is the original chest of drawers (I got so excited I forgot to take a before picture) to which i've since added some fancy (cheap) pine molding to the drawers and the top to get rid of the straight edges.
The plan is to cut off the bottom (a chance to use my jigsaw) and attach some wooden decorative legs. I've also ordered some furniture applique swirly bits to add to the drawers along with some new door knobs. Paint it duck egg blue. Add some gold. See what it looks like. Maybe take it to the skip and by a new bedside table.
Watch this space.
