OK - I've been waiting ages to post this, but with Debbie08's help here it is. I got a small drawer set to use as the Ladies room basket, and i decorated it. I just wanted to share it - it looks a bit smudged, but its really not
way too nice to be kept in the bathroom!! Great idea, great job!

Re: Look what I made
It was so easy - the only time consuming part was waiting for the stain and stencil to dry.
I got stain and a torn up towel, and rubbed the stin on the wood, inside and outside. Let it dry - I waited overnight. Repeat
My sister had the stencil - she got it at Michaels, and I had different green stencil paint here. I literally winged it with placement. I made one full stencil, and the n to fill in I covered some parts with tape so I wouldn't accidentely stencil them. I let it dry and polyurethaned it one. Let it dry - lightly sanded it and polyurethaned it again.
The whole ting took about 2 hours, excluding drying time. The whole thing cost 0 $. My neighbour was throwing it out, so it was free, and between my FH, my sister and myself, we had all the supplies.
