Bedside Lockers - Painted

I've painted them! I had to mix up four different beiges/creams to make up enough to cover both pieces as I didn't have enough in any one colour and when I am in the mood to paint I need to do it right there and then and not wait around for paint to be bought.  Again, I added my usual mix of Plaster of Paris to make up a nice chalk paint.  I've left the drawer fronts as I'm doing them in another colour like I did with the Chest of Drawers.  I think they look better already!

Chest of Drawers Revamp - The Result

I'm delighted to say that my chest of drawers is complete and I am very happy with the result.  It looks great in my room and has received the thumbs up from friends and family that have seen it.

The final finishing of this little piece really made the difference and gave it an appropriately aged vintage look.  Here are some pics of how it looks now and how it used to look - a big change for the better:






I hope you enjoyed following my progress with this piece of furniture, drop back soon to see what I have in store for two bedside lockers that have seen better days.  Let me know what you think of my work on Funky Junk Facebook or at the bottom of this post.

Pine Chest of Drawers Makeover

This old pine chest of drawers is need of a total makeover and is one of many items waiting in line for some TLC.  I am going to make some of my own home made chalk paint in a bright colour to freshen it up - maybe cream and I will add a few enhancements but I'm not sure what kind yet - all suggestions are welcome!  I'll get it started and decide as I go along.  Keep tuned for more - back soon...
