Over the summer, I found an amazing treasure.
A wood chest with a few imperfections, that I could deal with.
My Jeep was full of strollers and other junk, but I did manage to shove this beauty in.
There were a few dark stains, which meant a white wash was not a great option.
The rope handles, and wire around it made my heart skip a beat.
There was a broken board on the left.
Unfortunately all I can do with it, is pretend it isn't there.
Here is what I came up with.
I painted the trunk, and now it is my new night stand.
A plus is that it stores stuff.
Here is how I did this.
I used paint, glazing, and water.
Eco-Gray was the color I picked.
The color numbers are below.
I mixed with a product from Americana, called glazing medium.
I then added about 3 spoon fulls of water.
The mixture was about the consistence of milk.
Paint the mixture on and then wipe off gently with a towel.
I really enjoyed the way the front looked.
I did not paint the wire, brackets or hinges.
I really appreciated the way the top looked.
Until I put the Chest in the bedroom.
It was not working for me.
Tears and sniffles.
So I decided to paint the door, without any water.
After the paint dried, I applied the glazing to a towel and rubbed it on the door.
I did this to get an antiqued look.
I jumped, when I seen the finished chest.
This pail clock was so easy, and it makes a great remote holder.
