FURNITURE MERRY-GO-ROUND

Having replaced the two yellow pine chests of drawers in a guest room with the two sewing boxes already on this blog, I then had to find a home for them.  The chests of drawers were good quality, dovetail joints and all, but too yellow and too pine. My own bedside chests of drawers were, however, needing either a big makeover or replacing. Painting the pine seemed the easier option because of course chalk paint means no prep!

The knobs were definitely going. Two coats of Sarah Jane Cricket Pitch, which is a pale green with greyish tones covered perfectly.

After the paint, one coat of Polyvine Clear Matt Wax Finish varnish, but two coats on the top. Next the new handles, courtesy of eBay.

I am now left with a pair of bedside chests of drawers that need to be re-homed!
