This is one of my thrift store finds. This thing was hideous. But I love boxes, containers, things with drawers, etc. So I looked beyond the fact that it was hideously altered and the fact it was falling apart and poorly made. I knew it had a little magic and charm in it that could be brought out. Plus black spray paint fixes everything. (LOL)
This is the after shot. I painted ot black. I then took off the little knobs and covered it with Graphic 45 OCS paper. I added TH drawer pulls. I papered the bottom of the inside of the drawers. I added A block that I covered in the same paper. Then I added a clock to the front with a gear and a spinner. I added the word Time, the number 2 (with gears) and then the saying "live the life you imagined" I added some flowers to the front. I cut out of black chipboard TH gears. Then I used Inka Gold in Copper and hematite to color them. Then I added TH gears to the centers to finish them off. I layered them and added them to the back of the block to serve as a backdrop.
The before picture - I told you it was hideous.
Wow! That is gorgeous. Great job Kel!
