Any ideas on how to re-finish an old trunk/chest?
I bought it at a yard sale for only $3 and it is really really nice. The inside is covered with that sticky cabinet cover (blah) and I want to replace with a fabric (What do you suggest)
The outside is wood with tin on top. How to re-finish the wood and the tin?
Thanks!
For the outside, the key ingredients here is sand paper and elbow grease. The inside, use a spray on adhesive and felt
