Ruidoso on Oct 05, 2015I would refinish the piece, keep the drawer--drawer space is a premium for me, put a wicker basket inside the bottom for additional storage or use a smaller box and decorate it to contain pet toys. If you need more ideas, please let me know.Helpful Reply

Ruidoso on Oct 05, 2015The main thing is to decide WHERE you are going to put it.....If I were to put it in my house, because I love things that are eclectic--it would fit just about any where! I would use chalk paint. Afterwards, you can also tip the edges around the handles, etc with stain should you desire. DON'T be afraid to just "attack it!" HAVE FUN!! Always remember--should you not be happy with it, just paint a primer over everything and redo it/-)Helpful Reply

Janie D on Oct 06, 2015I have an identical piece I found at the take-it-or-leave-it shed at our transfer station. I stripped it and left it natural. The grain is so beautiful. Next, I hand rubbed tung oil into the wood to enhance the wood grain and give it a bit of luster and protection. It's beautiful.Helpful Reply

Cindy on Oct 09, 2015Hi Alyssa, this one is similar to yours but done with chalk paint and repositionable wall paper that I got at Michaels. It was probably in rougher shape than yours. Normally I would restore the wood, but this time there were several rough spots that probably wouldn't have stained well, I did it to match a chest of drawers I had redone,Helpful Reply

Karen Randall on Nov 08, 2016I have an almost identical one. Someone replaced the the pulls with white ceramic ones. I happened to have a decorative black and white contact paper with a forgiving print. I adhered it to the top and it turned out lovely with very little effort.Helpful Reply
