Junk Shop Bargain!

I haven't blogged very much lately as have had so many other things going on ... but I am now on annual leave for nearly two weeks (first proper break since August last year!) - Woo Hoo!!

I was having a bit of a tidy ... and have cleared all the junk surrounding our oak bureau which we found in a lovely little antique shop in the town where my parents live.  It caught our eye immediately and while Mr Plum and I were stood by the bureau debating on whether we could really afford the £55 price tag (which, to be honest ... we couldn't really ...) the owner of the shop came across to us and said "yours for £40..." SOLD!

Here it is .... perfect for hiding stuff!

I really want to paint it! Will you? What style? I love bureaus [or is it bureaux?]. We have sort of two. I say sort of because one is a bureau cum bookcase thing and you can hide even more stuff in that one than the just-bureau one. Is this making any sense at all?
PS thanks for commenting on my blog by the way and the CNCs have stayed in the cupboard so far today!
