Retro fabrics and suprising skills!

I've had this wooden storage box for years, my dad made it for me way back and it has had a few different transformations over the years. It started off covered in lilac fur ( there's no accounting for teenage taste right? :P) then it was hot pink, then black and now this great retro fabric which I've also had stashed away for years. I've been clearing and sorting pre house move and being really ruthless on what fabric I get to keep. If I don't have an vague idea of what I might do with it it has to go. This fabric was a bedspread I bought in a charity shop that I always loved but wasn't sure what for, it had been stored in said wooden box for years and so it seemed natural to put the two together! :)



 
I was pleasantly surprised by my skills of upholstering, the last incarnation was decidedly dodgy but I'm really pleased with how this worked out, all neat and professional! Now what else can I re-cover?
