Chest of Drawers and Mirror in Duck Egg Blue
I picked up this chest of drawers and separately an old brown mantle mirror, but painted in the same colour they come together for a great look.
I did think long and hard about what colour to go with - pretty tempted by pink to tell you the truth! But opted for a duck egg blue in the end.
The chest of drawers needed a bit of filling and sanding before I started to get the bumps and knocks out. The handles are solid brass, but I decided to go for a complete refurb and will replace them.
So here's the first look after a couple of coats of paint. There's hardly any sunlight at this time of year but the colour is quite good in the pic. Shame I forgot to take a 'before' shot of the mirror.
After buffing up all over with clear wax, I added crystal pull handles.
Very pretty...
That mirror is really heavy by the way!
The mirror will hang separately on the wall above the dresser.
Looking very shabby chic!!
