Time for Craft

The initial thought was just to 'upgrade' my son's house key holder but I ended up crocheting a few more designs while I recuperate after an operation. I put them up for sale online at Carousell, a mobile application that allows snap to sell, chat to buy for free.

The first kitchen cabinet door paint effect... Next three... The whole bottom kitchen cabinet... And, and, my chalkboard!!!... I didn't play by rules, to be frank. Who says wall paint is only mend for the wall and poster colors couldn't be

Hi peeps! After years on hiatus, I'm back in the kitchen again for a makeover. Major work I would say, unlike a craft project which is normally in a small handy scale. The paint work that I last done on the kitchen cabinet had either turned yellowish, outdated or peeled. So let's see what I've done over the last one week for this kitchen makeover. Objective of this makeover is not so much on spending big bulks but to make a great change with a small budget! Above are the BEFORE pic of the counter that is situated at the entrance to my kitchen (Wow! 9years!, rolled eyes@@). Below are the AFTER pics of the paint work and effect that I applied to create a modern industrial look. With wear & tear over the years, the wood veneer has peeled off, so I ripped off everything exposing the raw wood beneath instead. Though the only concern about this is the durability of it after ripping off the protecting layer, but what lies ahead is the excitement for a change, an
