The little girls dressing table.

Hi,

Remember I won this auction yesterday?:

Well, I thought it was a bit of a bargain. 

..until I got it home. 

There are quite a few things that need attention. 

The bottom drawer does not close as the wood trim at the bottom has been put back on VERY badly:

There are nails sticking out here, there and everywhere which need removing as they could injure someone:

Sadly the mirror is not affixed to the chipboard backing either and has slipped down because the plastic trim holding it on position has stretched and split:

First things first, out have come the 2 inch nails which was pretty tricky and have given me blood blisters!

The mirror is now in the process of being firmly glued to the backing. 

I intend to create a new border of lace eventually around the mirror and backboard to hide the ugliness of the chip board and to make it more worthy of a little girl's bedroom (for such is how I envision its new home). 

The size is so incredibly teeny tiny that only a little princess could use the mirror. 

I am hoping to crochet a string of hearts to swag over the mirror too for practicality as I use similar on my own mirror to house my earrings:

I think a little girl would appreciate that :)

I can't wait to start painting but will have to exercise patience. 

Its a shame so much has to be done to it before I begin but at least it will be safe for its new little owner when it finally gets its forever home. :)

Well, I'm off to put the mirror somewhere no one can knock it as it affixes. 

Catch you later,
