4 A new life...

 A few months ago my mother in law wanted to throw away this shelf of solid wood. I thought that would be a huge mistake, so I asked if I could get it, and I did.
So I went to a paint shop, and bought paint, and to a hardware store and bought abrasive paper, and paint roller, and paintbrushes.
I did use a few weeks on this project because I wanted the paint to dry, and I also had to take into account that my health isn't to good, so that I could use many hours a day.

I also had to use a mask, so that I wouldn't inhale the fumes that are coming from the paint. I also used thick brown paper underneath so I didn't get paint on the floor.

This is the final result. I have used things I got from my baptism. The swan is a gift from my great grandmother from Denmark. I am waiting on some things that my boyfriend loved growing up. I want this shell to be like a memory box from our childhoods.

I must say that I am very pleased with the result, and I am  so glad that i " saved" this furniture, and restored it into its former glory :)
And nothing is better than old peaces that gets a new chance!
