It's been a while since our last post. Amanda has been busy with her beautiful new baby, Jess has been battling morning sickness, and I have been deep in a bathroom renovation, so we've temporarily lost our crafting mojo. Don't fret however, as we have an entire weekend of kid free crafting coming up soon, when we can make up for lost time, and then some.
In our new bathroom, I wanted a shelf or cupboard behind the toilet to hold some toilet rolls, cleaning stuff, and bits and bobs. But pretty shelves are hard to come by.
Eventually I found this old medicine cabinet in a junk shop. It even has an hilarious poisons information sheet still inside the door. They advise burnt toast and very strong tea as a cure all for most things.
I used three coats of oil based enamel (apparently this is better in damp areas), and the results are great. A new decorative handle and voile! Pretty bathroom cabinet!
You can see from the photo that the bathroom is not quite finished, but I think the little cabinet will be just perfect. Kate
