Rattan star print basket, £75 for three, Cox & Cox
We bought this lone dining chair at a second-hand shop many years ago with the view of reupholstering it – it had been covered several times and had layers of fabric tacked on over the years. With a little woodworking, some new fabric and a coat of paint we were able to transform the chair and add hidden underseat storage – perfect for stowing away on-the-go projects.
