So as I have been speaking about for quite a while, I received a free chest of drawers from Mike who was given it by a customer. He brought it home as a surprise and immediately the gears in my brain started moving. I absolutely love a chance to take an old piece and revamp it into something new and more attractive. This particular piece as can be seen below was quite dated looking. Although parts of it were really would the back was particle board, and as result I'm not torn up about painting it. In the past year my taste has changed quite a bit, I used to have a strong liking for anything old and rugged (I still do a bit) but lately I have been leaning more towards glass and bright whites. For this particular piece I decided to use an accent color, something that would look great in a mostly white room. As a result I wanted it to be painted a bright green with glass knobs. Since I used to have a lime green painted on my bedroom wall in the shape of flowers, we attempted to do a little bit of mixing with white to tone it down. For knobs I went a little over the top. I wanted glass knobs but I couldn't seem to find used ones anywhere. Since I was so eager to just complete the project in order that it could be moved to London because I was seriously lacking storage space.
