Last week Mike and I found this great old trunk at an antique store. We bought it and have spent the whole week fixing it up. Here are the pictures of the old girls transformation.

Sanded and un-sanded metal ornaments

Taped up waiting for primer
Primed
Painted brown (my camera had trouble but this is the most accurate to the actual color.)
Getting tarnish off latch.
After latched is cleaned and sanded.
These two are finished with two coats of clear coat. They are just different angles and lighting.

Thanksgiving on the Coast Part I

We slept in a little cabin on the coast it seemed harmless...
We found an old VHS tape and watched it because we were bored. Then someone prank called us. The only thing truly weird is how the rest of our photos turned out.
