With lots of other colours underneath.....

My first job was to give them a good sanding.

This was my Sneak Peek in my previous post.

I decided to recycle a Preserve Pantry....
I changed the lace, Because it restricted the view into the "Cupboard"

The "Cupboard" Was very dark brown,
I decided to paint it cream.
Then gave it several coats of Mod Podge.

It started out as a Preserve Pantry.....

I decided to make some Sewing Books.....

These took quite some time to make.

I added some cute little cotton reels.

I also added a pair of scissors, A tape measure & a pair of Spectacles.

There you have the finished project,

I hope you like it.....
