Well this is the dresser I picked up from freecycle last week - it was stained a dark, almost ebony colour and I've spent the weekend "doing".....what do you think???
I'm quite pleased with it

I've been out beachcombing this week and came home yesterday with an amazing piece of twisted driftwood which I'm going to make into a bathroom shelf - it's about 6 feet long and flattish on top so I think it'll look pretty good when it's dried out."I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille...."0

Pooky that is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colour. I bet that would cost a fortune to buy one exactly like that. Well done.
