Chest of drawers

First step: I wanted to make this piece look lighter. Therefore, I decided to replace its existing bun legs with slant legs that would lift the chest of drawers higher of the ground. Here is the link to the solid wood slant legs I used. They come in various lengths.

I sanded the varnish / stain off the top and scuffed the rest. I decided to put the weight on the bottom drawer painting it with a darker colour and keep the other drawers lighter: I used the combination of Willowbank and Cathedral Taupe from Fusion Mineral Paint. I used a bit of a crackle finish on the top drawer and I gave the final touch using Antiquing glaze to make the crackles a bit more visible/finish more aged.

I left the top "pure" without staining it and just sealed it with a matt varnish.

The most important detail of this makeover: the hardware. I love the line/shape of these handles! Here is the link: Brushed Gold Half Moon Pullers.
