Hard Rubbish Rejuvenated

I'd discovered these awesome little boxes were on the curb side thrown out for hard rubbish a few weeks ago. One, two and three tray boxes.

I saw the potential of them but they just needed a clean up. I guess they had been used in a man cave and some bright spark thought they'd put numbers on them in using a felt pen. Duh!

First they were scrubbed inside and out, then a little sanding to remove the offending pen marks.

I didn't want to give them a shiny lacquer, so I opted for a light rub over with olive oil (now who wouldn't like that). Oh! I am naughty, but nice. He..he..he..

Hey presto! I think they look very smart now and very useful in the lady domain.

Only one more left to clean up, the dirtiest of course.
