I have been waiting to do something with this little trunk I got at an auction some time ago. I knew I was going to use it somewhere even if it was just for a brief period. I should have taken some more pictures of the process. It had been painted several times with lots of different colors. I had some left over paint from another project in a deep gold. After priming with white, the gold was next. I used a stencil with some craft paint, followed by a dark stain. I put it outside to dry in the HOT sun of Mississippi! Next I sanded pretty heavily to get an aged look. It is resting under my bedroom window for a little while anyway.
