And I have to say you did a wonderful job distressing....but trust me a hand sander is worth a million dollars when it comes to stuff like that----break down and grab one it is SOOO worth it! I use it for much much more than just distressing furniture... I use it when I mod podge wood/glass to get smooth corners.... and I am sure I use it for lots of other things too---you would love it! :o)Jaime Lyn at Crafty Scrappy Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436565215498969931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567751852999123789.post-60337112415068178222011-08-03T14:30:47.335-06:002011-08-03T14:30:47.335-06:00Your trunk looks lovely.
