Type drawer wall art

I finally got round to refurbishing the type drawer that I bought a few weeks back (see Flea market finds post) and I think it's turned out rather well.

First I cleaned it with sugar soap to remove any grease and yucky stuff (there must have been lots because I almost suffocated from the fumes - I think it might have been the varnish!) after it was dry I had to give it quite a few coats of primer.
Following this I painted it with white eggshell paint, and cut out sections of coloured paper for each section, sticking them down with wallpaper paste. Next I drilled some holes and attached some brass hooks, and then it was finished :) a nice little project. Just need to find a few little objects o put in the sections!

Type tray coffee table and wooden mirror

Now that I've finally moved into my new cottage, my Dad has been busy making me some lovely things as I don't want everything to be from Ikea! It was my idea to make the Type tray table though, so I can take some of the credit!

Thanks to my talented Dad for making these x

The Mirror frame is made from some wood I bought at the Larmer tree wood festival back in september, only I cant remember what it is. The little glass beetle dude is covering up a little hole in the mirror, seems difficult to buy one without holes!
The table is made from a letterpress type tray from a London press, I'm going to use it to put little things in... not sure what yet though!
