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 Makeover - Découpage
My chest of drawers revamp is going well and since my last post I have distressed the drawer edges which has made a difference but I haven't been entirely happy with the drawer pulls. I went shopping to check out if there was anything nice out there that would suit the style but came upon nothing. I checked online and wasn't happy with anything there either so I decided to try a little découpage on the originals to see if I could make them look a bit more unusual - time to take out my box of paper scraps and get cutting. This is what I came up with...

| Drawer Découpaged with Roses |
I decided not to do all four drawers the same and choose this 'lace' cut out for two of them.

| Drawer Découpaged with 'Lace' |
All four together...

They've still got to be waxed to 'dirty' them up a bit and to seal them but they're almost done and I'm pretty happy with the result. I Hope you enjoyed looking at my work, don't forget that anything you see on my blog can be commissioned, I can revamp a piece you already own or you can let me know what you want and I can provide it finished to your specification or finish it similar to what you have seen on Funky-Junk. Your feedback is always welcome so please leave any comments below.
