Chest of Drawers
 

This is an old chest of drawers that was fit for the skip! I did a decoupage job on the top of it with copies of sheet music copied and printed of Google images and painted the unit in Annie Sloan blue/grey chalk paint and then waxed it. I had intended to change the handles but didn't end up doing this as the original ones looked better than silver ones I was going to put on it.

Well done! I think you did a beautiful job!

thank you very much

Hi Ruby,

It was a laminated one. It's not solid wood. The paint I actually used is Annie Sloan chalk paint with a coat of wax over the paint. You could use gloss paint either with a coat of primer underneath the paint. If you can't get the gloss colour you want - you could buy a few small pots of different colours and mix them to come up with various other colours etc. I've done this in the past and it can work out very well. I just measure the paint with spoons.
