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!!!!
