sewing box makeover

 I got this sewing box for free from my local market a few months ago, it was so tattered nobody wanted to buy it! The veneer was peeling off so I removed it all, then took the whole thing apart and sanded and painted it.  The colours I used on the lids are called "Festival Orange" and "Race Yellow" from the Mid-Century range at Fired Earth.

Rather than using it as a sewing box, I thought it would be handy as a coffee table/magazine holder!
