Thrift store find - future project!

Large Jewelry box found at thrift store for $5
Only one piece missing on the bottom trim.

Inside of the top... glass in doors behind lattice is good!
Middle section needs some repair but the glass and mirror are good!
Bottom is in great shape, all those little handles are metal.

 So this is one of the things I found when I visited the local Goodwill for only $5.  It is going to be a future project to refurbish.  It will take some time and I will have to replace the trim around the bottom because I doubt I can find a match.  There is also a little need of repair for the center as well.  The hard part is going to be disassembling the doors so that I can properly paint the lattice.  And then getting the paint off the metal drawer handles.  (I am thinking of doing a grunge type look on those so some of it not coming off wont' be too bad a thing!)  It is really a large piece and I am hoping to have it looking pretty spiffy when I'm done!  :D
