Primitive Blanket Chest Gets Modern Furniture Flip

This old handmade utilitarian blanket box really didn't need a makeover. In my eyes, it was kinda perfect as was. Except! It wouldn't fit in my house in that condition, and neither would it for a potential buyer. So, I did just enough to make it work in a modern home. Watch until the end and tell me what you think!

Ya know, I never would have thought that it would turn out as nice as it did! I kept thinking this isn’t going to work… but it did!! As they say, trust the process! It was quite an ambitious flip with all the sanding! Very nice!!❤

I almost always have my doubts, too, but have to push through it. They do say that! And they say "it gets worse before it gets better." :) Thanks so much!

I love it! The new lighter, cooler color looks great! The soft close hinge was a very nice touch. No one can ever say you skip arm day with how much sanding you do by hand! I always love your work and look forward to every video!

Thank you! When I'm working on a piece I'm thinking "I hope Julee approves of this!"

[@justjulee9135]

@tracymillerdesigns aww, that's awesome, but you don't have to worry! I love everything you do!

I love how elegant and simple this piece is. It seems like a genuine heirloom. Hope you get to keep it. ❤❤

[@tracymillerdesigns]

Glad you like it! I'm going to see if I can keep it. I'd have to get rid of something else!

I remember when every young girl received her hope chest and was taught to make all her lininsfor her marriage.

[@tracymillerdesigns]

This could be a hope chest for someone!

[@mysticbeastproductions6811]

Much better with the lighter color.

[@tracymillerdesigns]

I think so, too! Thanks!
