Pre-transformation photo – distressed chest of drawers

Main Painted Furniture Gallery (click here)

This top photo shows a chest of draws before the transformation begins! Please scroll down to see the finished result.

Originally plain pine I painted the drawers and then distressed and antiqued them create a worn, aged look. I kept the colour quite dark to compliment the other pieces of furniture in the room. I also added a number of subtly painted flowers to make it tie it with the floral design on the curtains. Please visit the main Painted Furniture Gallery to see other hand painted furniture projects.
