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.
How we bought it
one side left un-sanded
Sanded and un-sanded metal ornaments
After sanded wood on top
before sanded wood on front
after sanded metal and wood on front
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.

I love it! That is amazing!
Very nice work. I love old trunks like that.
Wow! What a beautiful treasure you have found! :)
Holy smokes that's a lot of work for an old trunk! But it looks worth it now! Beautiful.
That's epic! What you have there is a steamer trunk, from the days when people traveled via rivers on steam boats!
