Cribbage Board Black Betty The Bookshelf Formerly known as Snow White (aka the Blue Bastard) The Purple Thing The CD Rack
A birthday present for my darling sister, which I gave to her on time, on her birthday (although the paint was still wet), in 2005.
I bought this thing off e-bay. It's all made of pretty solid stuff, so damn it's heavy. What's really irritating about it is the fact that it actually has very little drawer space. But it's done now. It took me two trips to Bunnings and a walk down to Coles ten minutes before the store closed. These all occured yesterday, and were for nothing other than to get the handles on.
This thing is made of chipboard and looked really tacky when I bought it. Needless to say, a fair amound of work went in to make it look the way it does. Not really a restoration job, but an effort none the less. It's first name stems from how strange it looked when it was all solid white, the second from how annoying it was to make room for it in my bedroom. =)
Well, the damn thing is finally finished. I wish I had a "before" picture to put up, but basically it was very water damaged and a hideous shade of green. But anyway, some "after" shots:
My updated Lab Coat
The box I made to store all my earrings in.
Oh my goodness. The number of times the completion of this thing got delayed is enormous. It kept getting scratched thus requiring new coats of paint, which wouldn't dry and then had to be covered again etc, etc. But it's done. It's not incredibly stable but who cares. It does however, require that I put some CDs on it. I wasn't supposed to buy any CDs until the bloody thing was finished. I bought like 9 or 10. Whoops:
The apron(pdf) I designed for Ronald McDonald House. People will actually pay money for something I designed. I'm a real artist (Random Moulin Rouge moment). Or does people paying for my work mean I'm not a real artist? Either way...It's kinda cool.
