I have become the biggest do it yourselfer since becoming a homeowner, and honestly I had no idea how much I loved restoring old looking things into something that looks as if I spent a whole lot of money on it.
Hence this old drawer. Sadly I did not take a before photo, and I regret doing so. At any rate, what we had was a beaten up old piece of garbage sitting on the side of the road, neglected, looking sad, and no one wanted it.
I however saw potential, and knew once I got it home, patched it up a little, sanded it down and filled in the cracks and holes with some wood filler, I would have me a nice sock and bra draw! And that my friends is exactly what I have!
I painted it to match my changing rooms pink and black theme, and added the hologram rainbow glitter to the black paint to give it a gnarly glistening effect. It actually looks a hell of a lot neater and prettier in person.
All in all, if it is wood, and it is on the side of the road, I know there is potential. Glad for my keen eye... it was just what I needed!
There is a tutorial on how to add glitter to pain in my blog somewhere if you care to look for it. : )
