Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @touzelfam. It's fabulous to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your wonderful project.
What a terrific transformation into a functional and aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture. It's so amazing to see you make use of this dated piece and give it a new lease on life. I absolutely love the live-edge timber you've used and the black for the frame; a great contrast between the warmth of the timber and the paint.
Many thanks for sharing and we look forward to hearing all about your other projects and plans around the house and garden.
