    Thank you.
    I was lucky that I bought that victorian case years ago, mainly because I loved the colour.
    I had to cut everything down to fit as the case was bigger but that was ok :)

    I'm confused. How many boxes did you restore? There's three of them in the photographs.

    Its just the one box.

    The top photo is the before shot, Thats what state it was in when I bought it.
    The next two are after shots, Inside and outside.

    The bottom one is the victorian case I stripped out for the materials used in the box.

    Thank you :)

    I was worried in case I made any wrong cuts in the victorian fabric because I only had one shot at it.

    It was a case of check and check again :)
