20 minute makeover...

It's the Easter holidays and I promised myself that I wouldn't just stick my daughter in front of DVDs so that I could crack on with my work. The weather is perking up and we've got plans for the next few days so I won't tempted. But this little project was so quick, I allowed myself a little fix of DIY.

I picked up this little wooden ladder for £2 at the boot sale last week.

It's really sturdy but the top was a mess.

Such a lovely little label. I wonder if it's the same Twyfords who do sinks and loos?
I ordered a small piece of oil cloth from eBay and set about recovering the top as it wouldn't take long.

I'm not touching the woodwork as I don't mind the paint spots. And lets be honest, it'll only get more. 

But it's going to look pretty in my kitchen. Which is next on the agenda... after the hols.

Happy holidays to those who have kids off school. I'm truly blessed with a daughter who loves doing the charity shops. Tomorrow we're visiting a relative in a town with plentiful charity shops. Yay!
