Re: Discover a gem under datk brown paint

Wow, what an incredible transformation @Belindaplumley! Your hard work and attention to detail really paid off. It's amazing to see how you've brought out the natural beauty of the wood and given the piece a fresh, new look. The choice of materials and colours is spot on. 

 

Well done on such a fantastic project!
