Chest of drawers

Adding extra patterns using wooden dowels/rods is another way to refinish your piece. This IKEA piece was transformed by adding square wooden dowels. It was rather times consuming process - each piece had to be measured and precut (I did it manually using me Japanese cut saw). Then I spent time gluing each piece to the drawers making sure the distance was identical and that the dowels applied on all drawers were in a continuous line. But the final result was worth it.

As the next step I primed the piece and painted it using color Nautical from Dixie Belle's Silk line.

Since my intention was to make the lines "the main hero", I opted for simple round brushed golden knobs to complete the transformation.
