Here she is! A primitive high chest: She is for sale for $130.
Remember when I posted on Facebook asking everyone to recommend a color for this? Well, the vote was overwhelmingly red, so although I had none and really didn't have it in the budget, I just had to go buy some Emperor's Silk chalk paint. I've been wanting some for months, anyway.
Because it's a pretty chippy piece, I knew I wanted to play that up and have several colors show through. First I painted it French Linen, then put on random bits of Graphite and Aubusson Blue:
Some close ups of the final piece: I kept the original hardware, but purposely did not scrub all the old paint off.
Fun drawers!:
Look, a little bit of green peeked through from a paint job ages ago: Love surprises like that!
