Classic 1950s French Style Chest of Drawers - Painted Cream
This lovely chest of drawers is just such a classic...
These 1950s and early 60s pieces of furniture are great finds, they're solid wood, beautifully made and will last for decades.
Here's a before pic. Originally painted in cream with silver handles, I wanted to stay true to the original look, but after 60 or so years of wear and tear, she needed an upgrade!
She's been painted all over with Autentico's Paris White Chalk Paint - a soft, vanilla ice cream colour.
The design of these handles is gorgeous. I've refurbed in the same colour of cream and then gilded with gold to bring though the design.
I kept things simple - adding gold to the edges of the drawers and lightly on the feet.
Here's some white bookends against the cream... such a pretty colour.
The insides of the drawers have been gilded too, not too much bling, but couldn't resist a bit.
In the shop now and ready for a new home :-)
