Renovation

After many years drooling over the DesignSponge website's 'Before & After' pages I have finally attempted my own project. I rescued a 1970's sideboard and turned it into a fake Chinese cupboard.

Here's how it looked before:

DesignSpongers will probably be horrified as this type of 70's furniture is back in fashion now - but it reminded me way too much of my Grandmother's furniture. And as I've been lusting after a Chinese style cupboard for years, I decided to make my own.

Next up - a great hulking, round doored, faux 1920's wardrobe. It's a good size for hiding things like my plastic bag stash, the hoover and ironing board, all the coats we never wear and maybe the kids.
