I love that today's decorating trends encourage us to take those pieces that we adore and be versatile. Who says a desk has to be in an office, a buffet has to be in a dining room or a chest of drawers has to be in a bedroom...certainly not me!!
This was an absolutely gorgeous antique chest of drawers. I adore this style but find them very hard to come by. It was in bad shape. The drawers were broken and the finish was a mess but you can't really complain for $60.
This is repurposing and upcycling at its best! Just love how it turned out! I used ASCP in versailles and lots of dark wax to age it.
I actually saw a chest almost identical in English Traditions, a local boutique that I love to stop in for inspiration. It was priced at $800. I think my version turned out better(if I do say so myself) and I can do a whole lot more decorating with all the extra money saved.
Enjoy the weekend and stay cool!!
