New storage unit

I saw this sad looking cupboard in a local charity shop last weekend and thought it would be great for storing my jars of buttons.  It was painted a horrible shiny black, and was very chipped and dusty, but a bargain for £5.

 

I went straight out and bought some Farrow and Ball paint and spent a couple of hours painting it.  Unfortunately, the shiny black paint seemed to be some sort of plasticised paint, so even with a bit of sanding, I had to apply an undercoat first as the paint was just forming little droplets on the surface.  So it wasn’t the quick, easy job I thought, but worth the effort in the end!  I used cream paint for the outside then a lovely sage green inside.

Your card has a lovely muted vintage feel. I like the way your centre piece is positioned on the snowflakes.
