How to Distress Furniture ~ Wooden Chest
Here is a sneak peek at what I am creating over at Inspired Home Style. I love turning something discarded into something new. I found this little blanket chest on the side of the road with a free sign. Score! I even repurposed the handles for this project. Small projects like this one are perfect to learn how to distress furniture.
Hop on over to Inspired Home Style to see how we transformed this discarded Wooden Chest. Im sharing an easy technique for creating gorgeous, aged finishes on basically any wooden surface. To demonstrate, I turned a boring pine box into this rustic beauty

I love it! The finish looks great, and I love how you stacked them one on top of the other.
It’s beautiful! You did a great job on it!
What a great makeover! I love old crates and this one looks amazing stacked atop the other one. I do a lot of hidden storage in my home as well. Keeping handy things handy while keeping the clutter clear. Of course, when it looks this good it’s just a double bonus. I found you from A Diamond in the Stuff’s time to shine party and am now a new follower 🙂
That looks amazing!

Looks great, those handles are perfect for the perfect price! Thanks for linking up.
A very nice piece. Great inspiration!
Turned out great!! I have one a similar toy box half painted in the basement. You’ve inspired me to finish it:)
I just picked on up too…Thanks for the ideas. Now I’m itching to get to work…going to run and get handles 🙂
How clever! Now I want to make one. Just need to find an alley and a box to go with it.
