Cedar Chest before & after

I love cedar chests! I found this one at a garage sale for $25.



Look at those pretty legs! And a drawer!


Of course, the reason it was only $25 was that the varnish was peeling off in strips and flakes, and the veneer was partially missing on the top and coming up in other areas.

After lots of sanding, a little glue, and some caulk to hide the missing areas (shh! don't tell!), I painted it white and gave it a little distressing and glazing.
