Lane Cedar Chest turned pink toy box

,

Before - I found this 1945 Lane cedar chest posted on craigslist.  When I picked it up, it had some pretty serious water damage to the veneer, but the inside was great. 

The shelf inside was originally a selling point, but I took it off because of the danger found in the combination of little fingers and metal hinges.

 After - I scraped off some of the veneer, painted, papered and polyed it. 

I added safety hinges to keep it from slamming, but I'll probably end up putting a third one on there.  I also opted not to drill a hole in the back but would be willing to if someone requests it.
