I bet people come up to Faye all the time and are like, “Hey Faye, nice chest! And great legs too!” And Faye takes it as a compliment. Because look what she did to this sad and broken old cedar chest: added legs and turned it into a fresh little console table!
Not only that, she did some major reconstructive surgery on her chest and made it open from the front instead of the top. Smart thinking, because otherwise you could never decorate the top without cleaning the floor. Yaheardme?
Check out more on her blog, McGIRLver.
