I love perusing the charity shops. Sometimes I really score. Unfortunately my favorite one has realized that some of us were getting too many "scores" (like the antique table I paid £20) so their prices have shot up. I was not deterred though. I didn't get the same quality as before but I did get exactly what I needed...a cabinet for the girls china tea sets...for under $20 so I am content.

| Before..definitely not English antique..just an interesting piece of laminate furniture that would suit my needs |
 |
| After - sorry but I moved it before I took a photo and as its heavy, I opted to just leave it. It was my first endeavors with chalk paint. Verdict is still out. I will attempt one more project with the leftover paint before I decide. |

It had screws and holes where something must have been attached to so I decided to attempt decoupage to hide them. The verdict on that endeavor is...FUN!!

| And voila, a china cabinet! |
