This long-forgotten old chest was hiding a secret. And when Chelsi opened it up and peeked in for the first time, she made a startling discovery. There were a pair of legs inside! That’s right, table legs! This wasn’t a chest after all, it was a table! Whew! Did I scare you?
Well, don’t be scared, because now it looks fantastic. I love the new appliques she chose for the spot where the disintegrating needlepoint had been, they look like they’ve always been there! See more on her blog TwentyNine Magnolias.
