I happened upon a wicker drawer stand that caught my eye at a garage sale.
The price was right
So I bought it
But the piece could use a bit of a design lift.
This is what it looked like when I purchased it...
It had a bit of chipping of the paint, otherwise it was in great, sturdy condition. I wanted to bring it up a notch though.
I painted just the wood body (sans the drawers) with Annie Sloan French Linen Chalk Paint. I then dry brushed on some AS Old White diluted down with water.
I decided that I needed more storeage in my sewing room, so out goes my cute chair...
And put this cabinet in it's place.
Before and After. A little paint can update anything!

Hi Terry! Oh, I love that sweet chest and love your paint job!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love this piece and I like the two toned finish. I would love to have one just like it.
ReplyDeleteThis came out fabulous! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWould love to have that in our bathroom under our window. It sure looks great and at a yard sale? It's a great style and height also. Lucky you finding such a treasure.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a linen closet, we just have a stand like a bookcase hubs built. I'm really tired of it tho so would love something more stylish for our bathroom. I use the basket type bins to keep toiletries in and a bigger flatter basket for the hand towels and wash cloths. I am glad to at least have a nice sized window in our bathroom.
Love it! Found you while browsing. So glad I did. I am following along. I hope you will shop.by for s. Idit and collie sling with me too. Blessings!
