Do you all remember this from a long while back.
I bought it from Class and Trash and wasn't sure exactly what to do with it but knew I needed it!
I think it might be where old maps or blueprints were stored. It looks like it may have survived a flood or something too.
Well I finally got my fanny in gear and did something about it and here is the after:
I sanded the piece and then stained it using this.
Dark Walnut
I used the always fabulous rub n buff for the hardware to give it a little glam.
I added this gorgeous paper from World Market. They have the prettiest paper there! Their online selection is fabulous! And for $3 a roll I think it adds the perfect touch!
I'm going to use it to store jewelry. The drawers seem perfect for that!
I also added some hairpin legs to the bottom. They were SUPER easy to attach, just a few screws and they were on!
Hope you all like! I'm using it as a side table next to a chair in our master.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I actually kept scrolling up and down looking for the "new" piece because I just KNEW it wasn't that georgeous side table! To say I am seriously impressed and inspired is an understatement! You did a beautiful job! I have an old chest my dad made that has seen better days, and now I know what to do with it! And I would love to use legs like that! Wow, wow, wow! Keep 'em coming!
