Repurposing & Upcycling: Wooden Crate Delimma

Everyone was really helpful with my chaise lounge color, I'm hoping to get your creative input for a wooden crate I bought just because it was cool. It appears to be a very sturdy, old ...»
military shipping piece. Medical stuff. It measures 30" x 17 x 15. I thought maybe a table, but I'm not feeling any good ideas yet. Maybe you all could let me know if you have ever done one like or have seen one finished up. Took pics.

    writing or labels/stickers on it....that is part of its charm! If you have need for storage, a copper hinged top could serve as a blanket chest, or a memory box (you know, those baby shoes and cards our kids make for us)...all sorts of storage. Sitting in the corner of a bedroom, it would be a great place to lay the bedding on every night!

  • A traditional color marriage between black, white, and gold.
  • The beautiful original drawer pulls were spray painted gold but I didn't cover them completely with the new color so that they looked antiqued.
  • The top was sanded and stained with one coat dark walnut stain.

    recommended to put a coat of varnish or sealer or something over the paint? And how porous is it. I know so many times dust and daily grime makes painted furniture look dirty after a time.

Painting: What paint to use on unfinished pine cabinet for rustic look?

I bought a pre-loved glass & pine china cabinet with a drawer base that had never had a finish and is paint ready, doesn't even need sanding. I want to do a somewhat rustic look in a cream color. I was thinking of a milk or chalk paint so it doesn't end up with a plastic look from todays acrylic latex paints. Can't find online from Home Depot or Michaels. (Anyone know of a store near Spokane, WA?)Where do I find these paints and how to use them? Thanks!

Cleaning & Organization: Getting smoke smell off artificial leather

I picked up a 'leather' looking chair someone had put out next to the road. It was beautiful burgundy on rollers. I stopped and loaded it in the back of my truck on my way to work. Didn't ...»
notice the smell till I unloaded it much later at home. I have tried window cleaner, orange oil cleaner, Pine Sol, leather cleaner, dish soap and have stopped short of bleach. NOTHING is working! I have the chair out on my covered porch and when it is really humid or rainy the smell about gags me. REALLY hate to pitch it, there just has to be something else I haven't tried yet. Any suggestions???
