Years ago, so many years ago I can't even remember, my parents gave me a chest to keep things in with pictures of a cat on the sides and top. It looked something like this.
When I was 7ish that was cool. So cool. But after discovering my severe allergy to the vile creatures I destroyed everything I owned that had a cat on it, except this chest. I tucked the chest away in the bottom of my closet and did not think about it for years.
In my recent move I decided something had to be done about it. Saturday morning I pulled everything out of the box and began taping up the frame in preparation of a new paint job.
For some reason I chose purple.
After waiting 24 hours I pulled the tape off to examine my work.
It seemed a little too dark for my tastes (the purple paint that is, as you can tell I had plenty of light pouring in through the windows!). So I added a little gold over top the purple for an effect that looks a little magical.
I'm happy with how it turned out. No more cat. Cool magic box now. And it's back in my closet once again.
