The blue trunk

I visited a few second hand stores this week and found this antique trunk. It was love at first sight and I purchased it straight away. 
After a deep cleaning I was able to list all the damages and repairs due to be done and started.

Standing mirror makeover

This is a great makeover I want to share with you today! 
I have a standing mirror for years... I was no longer happy to see it around but did not want to get rid off it, of course! It's the perfect mirror which fits in any corner or at the end of a hallway. 
As I said I couldn't stand for its look anymore and have been thinking how could I turn it into something more... "my own style". 
And so the inspiration came, probably browsing Pinterest for hours(!) and I started this new project.

Months ago I detailed about my MMSMP experience on this post

Today I would like to share another milk paint project with Old Fashioned Milk Paint. As I said the other day milk paint is very popular in Northern America but not too much in Europe so every detail on this type of paint is instructive.
