AT LITTLE COST
CUPBOARD DRESSING TABLE
The charming dressing table you see in the sketch began life as a plain, ordinary packing case. -It'was bought by the artist, rubbed down with emery.paper until it was
smooth, and painted—with one coat of "flat*' and-one of a good, quickTdrying enamel. . ,
A wooden shelf was added, supported on two pieces of wood, nailed at the sides, and two bars put in to make a shoe rack. This rack was curtained off with a piece of cretonne, while the upper part of the case served as a bookshelf.
Toilet things were arranged on the top; of this ingenious dressing table, and a mirror hung on the wall above it. Result, a pretty piece of furniture, 'with all the convenience of a most.expensive dressing table, costing less than three shillings.
