About two weeks ago I called Dan to tell him about a chest I found for 8$. We wanted a chest to hide all Levi's toys in downstairs so I thought we could just touch it up a bit. Dan tries to warn me about how much time it will take, but he never says lets not do it! So after stripping paint, sanding, sanding some more, painting the inside, staining the outside, putting new boards on the bottom, mudding, more staining, putting on hinges, and of course upholstering the lid, here is our outcome:
The stain was a little darker than I thought it would dry to be, but, we can always upholster it agian if it bugs me later! All in all I think it turned out great. It better have been since it took so much work! Remind me next time to just go buy one:)

I Likey!
LOVE IT!
I am jealous. 8 bucks?
Projects that take a lot of effort like that usually end up being my favorite (when they're done that is). I just have to learn to not point out the flaws to others!
Love it. You did a great job.
