We love to go to all the Emmaus branches when in France. There are always treasures to be found. This time we needed a dresser for our house in France and found this treasure. It had to be treated for woodworm, although it was not live. Better safe than sorry. Then it was allowed into the house. We painted it with Annie Sloan Old White, but due to the age, it eventually turned yellow because the varnish melts and bleeds through. However, over time, the yellow turned orange so it has been re-painted in Artichoke chalk paint from Vintage Paints, which is a sort of Duck Egg Blue. The colour is a much better contrast against the walls and tones with the Duck Egg blue kitchen units. The old escutchions and the edges of the carvings on the top were dry brushed in Old White.
Voila!
