Penny and I found this old, solid poplar chest-of-drawers at <a title=\"Page's Thieves Market\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pagesthievesmarket.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Page&#8217;s Thieves Market<\/a> in Mt. Pleasant for $50. We had in mind to refinish it and put it in our foyer. This particular project only took a couple of weeks, most of which was stripping multiple coats of shellac, varnish, stain and at least two different paint colors from the wood.<\/p>\n<p>Addendum&#8230; March 5, 2011 &#8212; Well, the chest-of-drawers is still here! We have THREE kids now, so it is rapidly becoming moving toward looking more like an antique than it used to. Logan, our 3-year old boy loves to throw things over the rail right above it, so it&#8217;s got a few character dings now. Still love it though&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
