stencil trunk

This trunk is one of my favorites so far and was one of the easiest. Antonio's mom gave me this trunk  she did not want anymore that had a really great hand painted picture on both the top and side, however it just was not my style. I felt bad re doing this piece because I knew the hard work that went into this paint job... but after i was done i couldn't help but love the new make over!

I sanded it all down smooth primed it...

spray painted it this slate gray

sanded the entire trunk with 120 grit sandpaper to make it look old and worn

then bought this stencil at Joann's and used a cream colored paint and sponged it on the top!
