DIY: Treasure Chest Coffee Table

Happen to have an old chest lying around? Perhaps an antique from the grandparents gathering dust in a basement or attic? Is it doing you much good? Probably not. Fortunately for you, instructables.com has a solution which will turn your old, not-doing-much-good chest into an old, actually-doing-some-good chest.

Here we have a refurbished old chest-turned-fancy-coffee-table. It will be the talk of the town (or at least of your family, who had been wondering what the heck you were doing). This transformed piece will make a beautiful addition to most living rooms, bedrooms, craft rooms, or even bathrooms.

But why limit yourself to just one room? Instead of putting feet on the bottom of this chest/table, why not a set of quality wheels like these classic steel ones from wheelandcaster.com? Now you have a mobile example of your artistic classiness to showcase in any room you choose! Party in the living room? Fancy mobile chest. Need somewhere to store those posh flannel pjs in your bedroom? Fancy mobile chest. The applications are limitless.

What’s that you say? Those steel wheels will scratch your new hardwood floors made from endangered trees and the tears of bark beetles? Fear not, friend. The boys in the lab have once again attempted science, and created a fantastic product! These rubber-lined chrome ball casters will solve any floor scratching problems you may have, and they can be easily spray painted to the color of your choice.
