Hi Everyone,
I did this little makeover ages ago so its about time I shared it with you.
I only remembered to take a before picture once I started to paint, so forgive the lack of a good "before"
I have had this little stationary/mail organiser for years.
I thought the dolphins were a little dated and I was looking for a little project to do, as I had some paper scraps I wanted to use up.
I painted the wooden organiser white and covered the surfaces with different but slightly coordinating papers. I think I did about 3 layers of modge and a coat of satin varnish.
I was going to use it as a spot to stack the bills and incoming mail...
Sean decided on a more manly use for it......
Quite sweet, don't you think?
Till next time, take care

Love it! I love how you mixed the patterned paper and didn't make it all a solid pattern. I should make one to hold the remotes- we have a universal remote yet my husband insists on keeping the other 3 on the coffee table too! :) I hope you'll stop by and link up: http://www.serendipityandspice.com/2012/03/manic-monday-linky-party-9.html
