I recently picked this up at a flea market in Norwich.
It's a key cupboard.
Except I don't have enough keys to have a cupboard devoted to them.
No, I need a bracelet cupboard.
The first thing I did was change the picture on the front. Nothing against those flowers but this shell image is much brighter.
I've just slipped it in the frame so I can change it out when I feel like something different.
I also changed the paper on the inside to liven it up a bit and fit the decor of my bedroom. Which is basically any kind of pink.
I hardly ever wear bracelets because I keep them in a box and forget about them, but having them on display here means I can't help but remember them.
I stuck some photos on the inside of the door and instead of just blu-tac ing them on I used some lace trim and double sided tape for a cute play on washi tape.
Re-purposing stuff is fun.
Have any of you done it recently?
I think this is a super neato idea! It's really cute C:
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the added touch of lace to stick the photo's on the inside of the door. Just lovely!
the different picture really transforms the case.
ReplyDeleteI just checked out your art and you are pretty amazing. I am doing a feature on my blog (terasue.com) where I interview artists. If you are interested in participating please let me know.
