Cedar Chest

I've been looking on craigslist for a cedar chest...I saw one that I thought would be what I wanted..but I decided to wait. One day when I was with Elaine we were in Tuesday Morning and I saw how much new chests go for....with her encouraging me I called about the one I saw...looked at it and Elaine got $10 off so it was mine.

I wanted to try chalk paint...I made my own from plaster of paris and paint..it sands down smooth and then I dry brushed with white, distressed it some and then finished it off with was.

Now I have a little more storage in my room.

And to top all of this off ALL the boxes are put in their place and the garage can now be used for what Chris needs it for!!!

and finished!
