Soon To Be A "Southwestern" Chest

This piece is a custom order piece.  Clearly it needed some serious luvin'.  After loads of stripping and sanding, I have painted it a really deep terra cotta color, and have applied a crackle/weathered layer.... now I am waiting for it to finish drying so i can apply the top coat.  I bought some pretty cool hardware for the piece which I think will match the room's decor.  The chest is used as a coffee table, and I certainly hope it will be a conversation piece for the family!
