PAINTING MARBLE eiffel tower chest

There were so many aspects to bringing the Eiffel Tower chest together.

I had to replace many missing mouldings and do several repairs to the inside and top frame.

I learned that the underside of marble inserts are not finished and sealed

therefore can be painted and waxed.

SEALED AND POLISHED RAW AND POROUS

The original marble insert was bright orange and had damaged areas.

Get everything painted and waxed then ....

add an adhesive vinyl wall graphic after unscrewing

and cleaning all the fancy escutcheons (lock plates)

This wall graphic came in 9 sq. panels and I bought it at HomeSense about 6 months ago.

BEFORE AFTER

One of the final steps was to preserve the amazing wood interior by waxing and polishing the drawers.

A HUSBANDS INVESTMENT soft blue 3 drawer chest

Before I knew it George was bidding on a three drawer chest

at our very first auction.

I was some what shocked as we had not looked at the piece before the bidding started
and we didnt have a good view of it from where we sat.
With in moments he had won and was holding his number up to the auctioner.
I quietly whispered to him "thats more then I would normally spend
and I dont know that I even want that"

His response was

"Its my investment, Ill get good return on it when you re-do it"

For those of you who have got to know George he can be quite the character

best friend, supportive hubby, and even has a good idea now and then.

There are some elements I just dont mention often enough when

revamping icky furniture such as ...

#1. Creatures that have come to call these places home.

This dresser housed one partticulary large monster of the 8 legged variety.

(NO VISUAL)

#2. The *stuff* that builds up from use over time behind the hardware,

These are the moments I wonder ...

is blasting the entire unit with a garden hose really such a bad idea?

#3. Remembering to turn your project upside down when you start offers so many benefits.

You can vacuum out the insides so much easier,

the top surface is protected if you dont intend to paint it,

its much easier to see and deal with repairs needed on the underside,

and no crawling around on your hands and knees to paint.

Pure White mixed with Provence ASCP

Above you can see the difference of the untouched side panel

and the sanded side shelf and drawer faces.

Once wax is applied to the distressed paint the color pops again

and the distressing stands out.

Stripped and Sanded Top

Stained Top

4 Coats of Poly Applied

The top of this piece turned out magnificent.

This chest would be a great bathroom vanity.

These pretty side panels with shelf are just waiting for someone

to install hanging racks to display guest towels.

Georges investment is finished and a good friend of his is now the proud owner.

Ice Chest Cooler box update

Well, Ive been under the weather for the last few days and havent done much with the cooler box build. I got all the pieces cut to length and then ripped to width last Friday. While I was ripping them I noticed that they were still very wet so I clamped them together and left them on my workbench to dry. I tried to go out once a day and rotate the middle boards to the outside. 2 days ago I went ahead and took them all out of the clamps and spread them across the bench to finish drying. I went out last night and glued up the legs so that I could start sanding all the pieces today. While I was laying out all the pieces for the legs I noticed that they were really rocking up and down on the bench but they didnt seem that warped. I took a closer look and discovered that the hardboard top of my bench seemed to have sucked up a bunch of that extra moisture and warped between all the screws holding it down! This was totally unexpected! I live in Southern California so Im hoping that it will dry out in the next few days on its own. If not then I will just go down and buy another $5 piece of hardboard and replace it.
