chest of drawers

chest of drawers, simple but elegant makeover :-)

the old yellow varnish has been completely removed from the drawers and the top and painted with walnut varnish.
the sides painted white using the roller to give a very smooth finish.
new pine handles  painted silver.
I was hoping to achieve a very elegant finish and I'm very pleased with the final look :-)

BEFORE

Queen Anne style small chest of drawers transformation / white wax

This piece of furniture is around 1920's...I wasn't brave enough to paint it with a colour so decided to remove the varnish (as you can see on the pic below all cracked) with the stripping gel (without a sanding paper!).

I used a clear wax and for the FIRST TIME I used the WHITE WAX !

LOVE IT !

 

Handles: primer, white paint, clear wax and dark wax

easy transformation of a changing cabinet

it looked a bit boring...for a little boy so...

I've painted the fronts white and glued  the motifs from a leftover wallpaper (PVA) then varnished for protection (3 layers)

I think it looks much much better ! don,t you ?...
