What a makeover!

Spring cleaning time...

I was on the job of mercilessly disposing off

the clutter that manages to creep into my cupboards

and make it their homes for eternity...

But this old box which was there for decades in my house

(Shhhh....part of my grandma's dowry,I suppose!)

somehow was adamant about not leaving my place...

I looked worn out ,dull and was past superannuation age

but I felt it was a permanent fixture in my house...

So , just decided to give it a new look...

A coat of  brown paint with a few streaks of

darker grains gave it a woody finish...

Then I dug out a stencil and

dabbed some dark brown and red with a piece of sponge...

I found it a bit too bright....

so I dabbed some metallic Bronze here and there...

And Wow!

What a makeover,indeed....
