SHABBY CHIC VANITY SET - painted with annie sloan

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR

When I organized and 

re-arranged this winter

up-cycled already.

FIXING WOOD SPLIT - hinge

 

 

 

When you have a split in your wood furniture you can stabilize it with a left over hinge used sideways.

 

These photos are taken of the underside of a broken chair.

Here is the fixed chair.

 

HAPPY FIXING
