Hi friends, today I’m sharing this wonderful piece of home decor or handy craft room storage with you.

 

I’ve been wanting something nice and big to hold my paper flowers and will be showing you how you can add extra sections in another video.

I was inspired to make this shape after looking back through some old photos and I saw my own Bureau I used to have, I painted it in Annie Sloane chalk paint and distressed it, it was lovely and now some friends continue enjoying it after I sold when I moved abroad.

The first photo is before and then after, the true colour is the last photo, it looks a little yellow in the middle photo. I finished it with large cut glass door knobs just like in today’s tutorial.
