Old Chest and Boom Box

Putting my touches on this old chest took me 23 hours, and I worked into the wee hours of the morning. I beautified all sides, including the back and top and applied 7 to 8 layers of decoupage material (Lacquer). When I placed the black boom box on it, I knew that I also had to add my touches to that. These were such fun that I've done other furniture also. Hope that you enjoy!!!!

Wish I could be buried with this--like the pharaohs with their golden treasure! Sharon, this is both funny and magnificent--it should be in a museum! If you had a show of several pieces like this, bet they would be sold-out.
