    A few months ago I posted about a canter-lever sewing box I picked up in a charity shop and I was going to paint it. Well I've finally finished it, if anyone wants to take a peek I've put some pics on my blog ( and hopefully I've managed to do the blog linky bit under my name right)

    I spray painted my wheelie bin and the concrete is green and maroon now where it was standing at the time!

    Hi yes I had to take it all apart and sand it down. I just painted it with some tester pots and varnished it. X
