I found this little set of drawers at an op shop hidden in a corner last week.
You know Thrift shops in the US are called Opportunity shops or Op shops here in Australia? I have noticed lately though that the term "Thrift" is starting to be used on some of these shops around Melbourne so I'm getting confused as to what to call them now ha! Either way I do know you have the opportunity to be thrifty!
AND here is one of them...
The picture doesnt show it that well but the paint is quite time worn ~ just the way I love it!!! ~ but the top was very flaky and not useable.
So I got my favourite old belt sander and started removing the paint so I could do the old fresh white over the top.
However I found that I loved the result so much I couldnt do it. The colours showing through from the sanding are perfect for me, touches of pink and grey.
Added some of my favourite Antique Rose items to the top...
And lined the drawers with a roll of Anagalypta paper I also found at an op shop
Nice to have an extra set of drawers in the bedroom and all for under $50 too ~ Yay!
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.
