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.

    that would be a VERY cool piece. I especially LOVE the Copper idea! It will make it extremely upscale. And yes please do leave the labels, they add so much to these crates as far as history and character. You will most definitely need to sand it, then wipe with a cotton cloth. As you know I use Briwax for 90% of my projects and have for over 15 years. So I would suggest using that. As far as the glass over the top? Yep, spot on. Then you can 'stage' and 're-stage' the inside as often as you like. Comes in handy at the holidays!. Here is the link to the Briwax site and if they don't have the particular product call them or ck ebay. I was keeping it at my store for sale for years, but I've closed up until this reno is done.

    I really can't wait to see this one! I love crates, they all tell a different story! xo

How to Paint Vintage Metal Chairs

I have had these chairs for years. They were old when I got them! I have painted them several times, but the paint just chips right off. This time, I took all of the right steps to make that paint hold on tight!

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???

Cleaning & Organization: Does anyone know how to clean a very dirty "fawn" color leather couch?

When I bought these two couches in 1999, they cost me like $6,000+. The back cushions are not tacked down by anything and they are always getting squished down and well the thing looks ...»
sloppy (wish I'd known that they would do that before I purchased them! Que Sera, Sera!) and now with 3 toddler boys and others the color doesn't even look like what it was. They've been pretty beaten up; however, the frame is strong and they were expensive, what to do or is there anything I can do? They have been cleaned by people using the worst things so they are really in bad shape as far as the leather goes. Is there a way to re-stain them? (Though every scratch in the leather will show up pronounced, wow, I'm talking myself out of this!)
