He saw an elderly lady put this out on to the footpath for hard rubbish collection. Um WHAT THE HEY?! She was going to throw it out - mirror and all! She told Mr T that it belonged to her mother but one of the legs was a bit wobbly. He told her what I could do with it and she was happy to give it to him. Hooray! What a nice lady :)
Check it out now:
...with a pop of pink
I found the perfect fabric for it at Fabric Traders.
Originally the plan was to have glass knobs but my supplier ran out. I ordered them online but they may not be here for another four weeks. I'm too impatient so I used this lovely silver ones instead. I wanted to modernise it a little so with these knobs and the chair I think it does just that.
I'm still not sure whether to keep these knobs or test my patience and go with the glass.
Don't forget to link up to my very first Saturday Splendour Party this Saturday. I'd love to see all your wonderful furniture makeovers.
Have a fabulous day!

I have one similar to do in the exact same colours for grandaughter.What sort of paint did you use? and I see you have pink on sides of drawers do they still slide in well?
Lovely job as usual xx
