I was going to keep my great aunt Leona’s cedar chest but didn’t know where we would put it or how to move it.
I’m a bit heartbroken to see they’re selling it for $75 with a suggestion of that people COULD PAINT IT NO WTF. (Someone please rescue this.)

I still have dibs on my mom’s cedar chest, which is a blonde mid-century design with a flat top which is a more practical design for our small house, I think. I don’t think the interior will be in as good of shape (haven’t yet managed to open it).
An acquaintance wants to buy this one . . .
Normally I don’t know what befalls the items that the folks are clearing out from my parents’ house, but the cedar chest was near a security camera that monitors a door & I got an alert so I saw a young couple seem to enthuse about the chest & take it away today (one was wearing a Twins cap).
Really a bit of a fluke, we have cameras on driveways, doors, yard, etc. and the cedar chest was near the front door when folks came to get it.
I shouldn’t care what happens to all this stuff, but it’s hard not to care a bit. Hope they enjoy it (and don’t freaking paint it). <3
I think lots of people are in the same boat where they already have cedar chests that have been passed along or had the option to have them and passed due to lack of space.
I have quilts and sweaters that could certainly go in it, but no room really.
This will sound terrible, but I'm not sure. I bid on a couple of different lots and only got one. The email won't show me the invoice unless I log into the website.
