Mosaic

Three things in this pic: the little white box in upper left corner I chuck all my receipts into. It's a box covered in vintage wallpaper. The tea cart was on sale at Home Depot. I got the four old sewing machine drawers and attached them to a sliding drawer-spice jars kept in there. The old tea chest I got at a Kingston flea market.It was filthy. I took it all apart, washed it, stained it, ressembled it with black denim fabric and upholstery tacks and lined it as well.
The silverware chest had broken hinges and was bought for $4 at a thrift store. Mosaiic'd black glass tiles and "ivy/vine" all around outsides, fixed the hinges, cleaned the velvet lining, and now I use it to hold the dichroic glass jewellry & watches.
