Reel Fun

Howdie!
Today was sunny and quite lovely, so I celebrated by getting out a paintbrush and my camera. 
Yep, I did a little DIY,
I'm able to do that kind of thing a bit more these days.

Being in the electrical industry, Mr Hubby Bright Spark has left the odd empty wooden cable reels lying around after he's finished with them for work. I've often looked at them thinking it's such a shame to have them just go to waste, one day i'll have to use one for something creative.


so that one day came today..
and after a lick of paint we now have a handy little table - YAY!

    1. Thanks Tam and yep they'd make a great bedside table! I originally wanted to paint a couple in pastels and use them for kids tables outside for parties etc...they're the perfect height! Will put in a request to the hubby to not get rid of anymore and I'll add you to the list of those who want one...it seems to be growing;-) xx
