Today’s project is not a full-blown Before & After, but I wanted to share what a quick tidy up can do to give a neglected piece of furniture a new lease of life. This was another side of the road find that had potential as a temporary storage solution while we saved up for a proper wall unit.

All that was required was to knock out the back to lighten it up and show off the funky step shape, give it a good clean and switch the plain timber drawer pulls for some more elegant metal ones. It cost less than $5 and has served us well for two years.
