    I had no idea about the lane chest lock recall thing. Thanks for informing me lol We purchased one about a year ago and it does in fact occasionally lock itself when it closes. 😬 Thankfully no children in our household so no threat for us there. But I did just a brief search on the recall and it seems Lane will send you a replacement lock for free. Something to consider for you if you want to try to replace a lock and fix up a lane chest to resell. The one you saw and showed us in this video is a total mcm dream . Beautiful square lines no frills very accessible for today's home furnishings I think. BTW love the thrift with me videos!! Keep up the great work!

    Coffee table - sand it down ~ stain legs slightly darker to give it some color. Tabletop ~ stain it a lighter color. Dresser ~ sand it down. Bondo or do something in the middle of that one drawer that is 3 small ones and a large one ~ make it look like the two on the bottom. Do the same with the imagery top triple drawer. Hardware: use long black handles for the size of drawer. … but on the middle imaginary double drawers place handle in middle of drawer. Base doesn’t look like fun, too chunky or something. Black legs would look nice.

    I'd go for the coffee table first. Sand down, then paint wash with a very light neutral to tone it down. Cathedral Taupe by FMP as a wash is lovely and is has fewer gray/green undertones than Algonquin. Another option would be to do a wash with Algonquin or Cathedral Taupe (or similar from other lines) on the top with full strength of the color on the bottom. I also did a dresser with Algonquin full strength on the body and a Cathedral Taupe wash on the drawers and it turned out beautifully. Whatever you do, I know it'll look amazing!

    From a purely business standpoint, I'd do the Mahogony dresser first. You had multiple customers show interest in your last piece of a similar style. I'd do a repeat of the same style and color. That being said, the challenge of the herringbone table (I'd do natural on top w/ black legs) would make me want to do it first.
