  • Metal paint
  • Furniture wax

  • Paint brushes
  • Wood saw

Decoupaged the drawer inside with pages from an old book. I used clear varnish to seal the paper.

Gave a light sanding and then painted with my home made chalk paint. Three layers to cover properly.

Finally a good wax. I use old socks.

The hooks on the right are old recycled hooks.  The new hooks were too bright so I painted them with bronze metal paint.
