Furniture Upcycling: Edwardian Chest of Drawers

Anyone who knows me well will tell you that one of my favourite things to do in life is upcycle furniture. I currently have a spare room full of projects in various stages of completion (finishing off a piece is not my strongpoint!) and I'm starting to think that it's almost a sickness! Anyway, I recently completed a chest of drawers that I'm particularly proud of, so here's the before & after.








I thoroughly cleaned the piece and gave it two coats of blackboard paint. I then did coats of matt varnish and added the emerald glass knobs before adding green chevron paper as drawer liners.

I love it and it's going to be hard to part with, but she'll be going in my online shop once I get everything up and running!
