The other day I remembered I had a blanket box inside a cupboard. I used to have it as a coffee table in my small office. But when I added some furniture in there a few years ago, I put the blanket box inside a cupboard in the spare room. On the weekend, I decided it would be handy to have it in the front room for the ability to store things in it, so I painted it Annie Sloan versailles and gave it a quick wax.
Then, after spending hours faffing around in the front room, moving furniture, cushions and other bits and bobs about, I decided that I should upholster the top of it, so it could also be used to sit on. So today, that's what I've done. I had to go and buy some material because the piece I had here that I thought would work actually had stains on it. So, a quick trip to Spotlight for some fabric was required, and there we go, one upholstered blanket box complete. I'm not great at upholstery, but it doesn't look too bad. This is probably the sixth thing I have upholstered.
