This is an after and before story....because I don't want the 'before' appearing at the top of the page! A transformation from an ugly, dirty and distressing household must-have to a quirky, useful display area for my collection of vintage childrens' storybooks. Having stared at the ugly (see below) for 3 years I had an inspiration moment, tipped out the contents of a storage box and hung it onto the meter box - it stayed there MIRACULOUS - and it was a good colour. The books hide the wires. I am happy....
