Wooden curio house box shelf

Hello, today it's my turn over on The Craft Barn Blog. This week we have been altering the lovely wooden curio houses. There's two different kinds. I decided to make one for my mum to use as a little shelving unit to display her keepsakes and little gifts and went for a pastel shabby chic look. So do come and check out the full step by step details and see what else is in store for you at The Craft Barn Blog.
I'll share some photographs of this project, I enjoyed making this and it really is simple to achieve. Just takes time. If you struggle like I used to, with the shabby chic look, I'll let you know that I figured out by starting with the right looking vintage papers made it much easier. X
I hope you all have a lovely Easter weekend and enjoy some crafty stash shopping. The Craft Barn are offering Free shipping and have lots of new goodies. X

 

Happy crafting
