The Chest is Done!

I'm so excited!  The cedar chest is officially off of my to do list!

Here are some pictures of my great grandma's cedar chest before:
(do forgive the boxes and mess in the background... we thought we were moving in January and I didn't have the heart to unpack the things I had packed!)

And here it is after I reupholstered, refinished, and added some new knobs!

perfect for holding games!

The poor thing doesn't have a space though in our small dingy apartment.  It is sitting in a corner under our window, covered up by a blanket so it doesn't get dirty.  I am ready for a HOUSE so I can show it off!  (and other reasons, obviously!)

    Just wondering, where did you purchase that fabric? I've been looking for a similar design for my kitchen curtains. Thanks! www.janeandeugene.blogspot.com

    Thank you everyone for your sweet comments! And the fabric is from Hancock Fabric... I'm not sure if that is a nationwide chain or not? It was at the first store I went "fabric hunting" to, but I kept looking and 4 stores later, found myself back at Hancock because I didn't find any I liked better!
