Day 292/365 Reconstructed Hope

Remember this? Two weeks later, the weather is finally dry enough and warm enough to paint and stain.

Out with the orange, in with the flat black. Three coats of flat black paint, plus two coats of red mahogany stain on the lid.

And voila....

I left the cedar back and interior unstained.

Twenty dollars, four years stuck in the garage, and a bit of black paint and stain and here's the finished product...ready for more quilts.
