Adventures In Spray Paint: Cedar Chest

Okay, I have been wanting a wooden chest for a very, very, very long time. But, I could never find one that I liked or it was too expensive. Well, a couple weeks ago, my mom and I were taking Bubby for a walk and we happened across some neighbors who were setting up for a yard sale for the next morning. And, low and behold, there's a wooden, cedar lined chest!!! I was super excited. And they were just wanting to get rid of the junk in their garage so they gave it to me for a whopping $35!!!!! Talk about an awesome yard sale find! Anyways, this is the shape it was in when we first bought it.

I'm not sure if that's the original design, or, if someone was trying to be creative when they painted it, or what, but, it just was not for me. But, it had good bones.

To fix this, we went to our trusty Wal-Mart and grabbed more spray paint. I got Rustoleum this time in just a shade darker than my headboard. And this is how it looks now!

I'm pretty pleased with my yard sale re-do find. It now houses all of my shoes. I've never had a place for them all before, until now. But, I feel like it's still missing something... Like, it needs some kind of design on the front, or the top...What do you guys think? I'm not much of an artist when it comes to paint or drawing, so it would have to be some sort of stencil...
