A magic trick .....

We were back from Scotland in time for me to do the full round of car boot sales this last weekend.  Oh, what happiness!  I had a lovely time buying things in the sunshine and one of the things I came home with was this rather drab and unloved little bedside cabinet ....


Not very inspiring, I'm sure you'll agree.  But, remove the handles and sand it down a little ...


Base coat it in cream and add a few splodges of pva glue to make crackles .....


Add some flowers and replace the handles ....


Add some 'antiquing' to the corners and round the handles. 



Did you see how it was done?  Eat your heart out Paul Daniels.
