Your Lane cedar chest is the Waterfall design; you are blessed to have a lovely interior with an intact tray. I have my mother's Waterfall cedar chest, now 75 years old. The veneer is damaged along the front edge and lower trim; however, I am not inclined to refinish, repair, or paint it at this time. The dings and nicks are part of its history. Kudos for using Fusion mineral paint! I discovered its amazing qualities three years ago and have painted several pieces for our home. Yes, the cured finish is both smooth and strong. Congratulations on your channel!
Nice ! So, how about the actual cedar interior / cedar scent ? I have lightly sanded cedar , then vacuumed of course , to enhance / restore the properties for a better storage chest .
I’m happy to hear it’s motivating 🙏🏽❤️ it’s disappointing for things not to come out exactly the way you planned and hoped (especially after dedicating so much time!) but I got some good lessons for the next time and can always continue to work on in improving this piece in the future! 😊
Hi! I'm a new subscriber.my career was as a photo stylist (now retired) and recycle artist as well as an avid thrifter for 45 years. Your styling is amazing. I look forward to all your videos.
Photo stylist, recycle artist and avid thrifter for 45 years - that is sooo cool!! 👏🏽 I have so many questions but the one I will ask is, what (if you can choose) is your favorite find (or couple)? Thank you for the kind words and so happy you are enjoying the channel! 🙏🏽
Love the color! I recently painted my own Lane hopechest given to me on my 16th birthday😊 Sanding between every single coat of primer & paint helps with flawless finish! And yes, I always wait a whole day in between primer coats!
Thanks for sharing your wait time, helpful to hear just better to be safe and wait longer in between coats of the primer. I hope you are enjoying your chest - I’m so excited to move ours into our room and start using it! 😊
Really like how it turned out. This was a very motivating video for me since I also like giving furniture makeovers but get a bit discouraged when it’s not perfect ❤
Thank you Lety, I’m excited to share how it looks in our space this Sunday! We enjoyed our trip to Chicago last year, we went to some cute shops when we visited! 🤗
Your such a doll! I love your videos and your thinking and how much you save. I live in Oregon 5 hours from Portland and 4.5 hours from crate and barrel or pottery barn ❤
Hello, I see you’re using the blue lamp, you decided not to use in that apartment you furnished and designed. Looks good in your home! (I became a new subscriber from that video.) I need to redo the top of antique home chest. It got water damaged. 🙁 So I appreciate this video, thanks.
Hi Susan, I’m glad you appreciated this video and the challenge series! Good luck with your chest - I hope it turns out just the way you want! The lamp in this hose is a different blue lamp that the one we found in the challenge series (one of my favorite finds!) I still have the other one too, you will definitely see if/when I use that one! 😊
Hey, check out this channel. Angie redoes all kind of furniture she find in Canada. She uses the Fusion Mineral paint and many things. I promise you will learn and love her channel. We are all learning. I love your Chrystal finds....Channel.Trancend Furniture Gallery
I like your philosophical approach of accepting flaws and mistakes, learning from them, and not needing perfection to love and appreciate vintage.
❤️
You did a great job!!

I really appreciate that you share your learnings. It’s more realistic to see that side of the process and is very motivating.

Such a shame about the damage but your transformation was so fab. That paint is lovely, will check it out.

❤️ thank you Carol and I hope to hear about your next furniture makeover!
Love the cedar chest!
You are my hero!
Hi 🤗 hope you are well @garlicgirl! 💕
Beautiful work
Very nice!!
Thanks!
It looks gorgeous ❤
I probably can’t get it done by myself 😅 but watching this video still brings us so much fun 😊
Thank you Jieyu and I know you totally can do it! If you see a piece you like, I hope you give it a try!! 😊🙌🏽
I love how it turned out! What imperfections?? It's beautiful. Keep the videos coming. -Lety from Chicago

❤️🙏🏽 5 hours, that is a long drive!
@@MelbaMakes it really is
It looks beautiful
Thank you Jeannette! 🙏🏽💕
What about painting just the damaged part of the piece.? It may work if it's just on the bottom. Or use paper or fabric as a trim..

I would have just painted the area that was splitting.
Hi Maryl! That idea could have worked nicely
