Since we aren't big football fans, and couldn't even watch the game if we wanted to cuz we don't get those channels. I decided yesterday that I wanted to paint somethin. I've been havin the urge for a while now LOL This ugly lil chest of drawers was Mr Lilly's grandmothers. I asked him if it was ok to paint, because I didn't wanna paint somethin that he felt was sentimental. It's just a cheapo lil wood one, and had some things wrong with it. I peeled off the layer of veneer that's on the scroll piece at the bottom....hadda use a chisel....lol Then sanded the thing down to get it ready for paint. I worked on it from about 3:30 yesterday afternoon, until right at midnight. I can't decide if I'm "finished" or if I need to add somethin. To me it looks like it just needs somethin else, before I put the clear coat on it.

Here's before and after pictures.

Looks great! :D What are you going to do for drawer pulls? That could be where you add something extra. Maybe put the original pulls back on, and post another pic for us to see, and we'll offer more "expert" opinions before you clear coat it :lol: ...I'm betting with the pulls back on, it will look just right :wink: .

I'd planned on puttin the original pulls back on it. This was one of those projects that I didn't want to spend any money doin. I already had all the paint....except for the clear coat. Mr Lilly got some on his way home from work.

I've found a picture of a buckin horse.....that I think I'm gonna attempt to paint on the sides.........could be a wreck LOL
