Start at Home: Custom Order Cedar Chest

So, I have to say this goal of mine, to blog everyday has been quite the tall order! It takes so much more planning and time than I thought. I knew it would be time consuming...I just never realized how time consuming! However I have loved to plan everything out and keep myself on a schedule. I am quite the schedule/structure person and it drives me crazy when my kids don't allow me to stay on my schedule, which happens everyday. But everyday is a new day and I am learning to be more accommodating and patient. Funny how kids do that to you huh? I just have to say over and over in my head, keep your priorities in check. Right now my kids are my number 1. So....anyway.....

Here is this beautiful cedar chest a client brought me a few weeks ago. Originally they tried to strip and sand it down to the wood, but they sanded through the veneer...oops. I hate it when that happens. ...but it is nothing a little bit of paint can't fix!

TADA....paint fixed everything!

I don't paint everything I get my hands on. There are some pieces I believe should be left alone. But in this situation paint was an excellent solution and it made the moldings stand out so beautifully!
