refinishing furniture

What can I say, I'm like my mother!

I dropped of my biannual donation at salvation army and decided to pop in for a minute just to see if there were any must haves. As soon as I walked in the door I noticed a upholstered topped chest in mustard paint, and was pleased to discover it was cedar. I love chests and am on a mission to have a collection of them in my life.

I decided with the wheels, and the condition it was in, it was a must buy, of course, but needed to be refinished.

Why wait, I apparently had energy to burn today, so I stripped the trunk and oiled it. I still need to detail inside the patterns.

Maybe my sister will help me out with an upholstered top later. ;o]
