How do I upcycle a 4-drawer chest?

Here's a post that might help get you started - https://www.thespruce.com/ways-to-upcycle-your-dresser-4123846

You could spray paint it for a fast redo. But if it is a really nice piece, you might want to sand it down ...start with a 180 and build up to 220 sand grit. Then vacuum, tackcloth and paint with some really good paint for furniture. You can seal it with a polycrylic spray or brush on. If you want to stain, then after sanding, stain with your favorite color stain and then poly. Good luck!

You can paint it, add designs, remove drawers and turn some of them into shelves with baskets.
