Few people would have been game for the challenge of restoring this piece, but Donna saw its inherent charm and i potential. “| couldn't believe it when | saw this old girl on Facebook Marketplace,” says Donna. “It was a young couple who were pulling down an old shed to renovate and this cupboard had been in the shed for about 50 years. | couldn't get it in the trailer fast enough!"

Donna painted everything else white (Dulux Lexicon Half) and added quirky hooks, turning this old wardrobe into a practical but pretty mini mudroom. | Before “This piece represents upcycling at its finest. The revived cabinet is beautiful, useful and would be quite handy in my house!” Katrina O'Brien, Bunnings magazine bunnings.com.au | () bunnings |(®) bunnings 29
