Here is a small chest that I recently picked up for $4 bucks that I remade into a pirate chest for my grandson's upcoming Pirate Party that I host every year.
Here is the before...... .jpg)
Here is the after.....jpg)
I've written two tutorials (with photos) on how to do the
faux leather treatment on the outside of the trunk....

and one on how I made over the
inside of the pirate chest as well.
