I have decided to show you this W.I.P instead.
And if you're wondering what I'm going on about visit Wendy's blog and join in the fun.http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/blog/
I bought this at a carboot sale to store some of my wooden stamps in and have been meaning to paint and pretty it up for a while. To be honest it isn't very practical really for my wooden stamps but I can use it to store / display lots of embellishment's like flowers etc.
What better time than the long Easter Weekend to get on with it!!!
One problem though that I am dreading however, is assembling it all back together - I am NOT good at that and worst of all I went out to the garage (my HUSBAND'S garage!!!! - he says's it's the one place he can call his own and helped myself to a few tools in order to take it all apart. I was very careful that nothing else was moved as hubby seems to have EAGLE EYE'S. so you can imagine I become very fidgety if he hovers around to see what I'm doing. He is very PRECIOUS about his tool's!!!)
Also I have to tell you that one of the "makes" I did was published / featured in the "Simply Homemade" magazine that I love. Only in the "your letter's" section with a photo about the make! Do you think I can be cheeky enough now to add to my side-bar "I've been featured in." What do you reckon?

Do you know I have never been to a carboot and not sure I would have thought about redecorating the box but it looks so pretty.
I can see an early start to next weekend!
What a nifty idea, to redecorate! I understand about husbands and their tools. :) And yes, you should trumpet your accomplishment, getting published like that, it's outstanding! WTG. :)
Go for it, you have been featured so why not, well done. Love the look of your storage box and cannot wait to see when put back together and finished.
Love the storage box, love carboot finds! Oh and don't get me started on men and toolboxes!!
Thanks for taking part in HM x
I love that magazine - well done you! Looking forward to seeing your box all finished, its going to look wonderful. Anna x
What a transformation - can we see a photo when it is back together?
We have the reverse prob. in our house, OH steals MY tools!
I've one of those boxes and it's very empty, brown and boring! I'm wondering whether i've the energy to revamp mine! Looking forward to seeing it put back together.
Great storage box. I found your blog through Made by Momo's followers post. Following now. Look forward to seeing more of your creations!
Happy Crafting!
