She had inherited it from our aunt, who passed away a number of years ago.

So I set out to buy some fabric to re-upholster the top. The third fabric that I brought home is the one that we went with. I purchased the fabric at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calicocorners.com\">Calico Corners<\/a>, as it was 50%, and I have a thing for tweeds. I used less than a yard of fabric for this project.<\/p>\n<p>The upholstery job is not bad for a first try, I think, though I don&#8217;t believe anyone is going to hire me to do it for them just yet. I used 2&#8243; thick foam that I purchased from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joanns.com\">JoAnn&#8217;s<\/a> and a Black and Decker Cobra stapler that I borrowed from my dad. I did manage to line up the fabric well, but the edges are a bit bumpy, indicating each place the fabric was stretched and stapled. Nonetheless, it was a quick and easy makeover for the piece, and goes better with the rest of what is in the bedroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received this cedar chest from my sister when I moved into my first house.
