Here it is now~~~of course I painted it white, my own mix on chalk paint. The drawer fronts and underneath shelf edging I did in a soft version of Valspar's English Meadows that I chalked up. More or less just dry brushed on a light coat of the green. Added the appliques at the very bottom---sanded and painted them first---so much easier that way. Then gave the whole piece a bit of sanding. Applied dark wax. Painted the four brass pulls white and added six new crystal knobs.
Voila!!!
And of course you're not done till it's over done~~~While working on this I found a roll of wall paper while out junking. MaKenna, my granddaughter and assistant on such matters, thought it would work wonderfully well~~~and so it does!!! Railroaded the wall paper to prevent vertical seams.
I couldn't resist seeing how it would look when dressed! I'm sure you'll recognize some of my ironstone collection from this post. Logan, my grandson and also an assistant (turned 11 on Dec. 28th) helped me move it to my store.
I have strong and knowledgeable assistants~~~
Thank you for stopping by today~~~
Happy Hunting and Gathering!!!
