Chest of drawers

Cane webbing is an amazing way to add the lightness and style. I tend to use it on the chests of drawers and sideboards which have drawers / door with a "frame". They make the application of the webbing easier (more neat). I used to buy the webbing on Amazon, but then discovered few suppliers on Etsy (one of my favorite is based in Vietnam - give me a shout and I am happy to share the details.). I am going to prepare a special blog post about the application of the cane webbing soon. So follow my blog.

There are various types of cane webbing - with varying webbing patters and color. Since I decided to go with the lightest one (it is almost an off-white) and selected a darker color to frame it: Bellwood from Fusion Mineral Paint. I used Chateau for the body. I like combining color, especially if both are rather neutral ones.

Usually I do not paint the inside of the cabinets/drawers. But this one was pretty scruffy so I painted everything.
Using the liners in the drawers and on the shelves is my standard (unless there is a beautiful wood hiding there). But I like adding a little "something" on the inside of the door. This time - just a small stencil. Just a nice touch.

Since this was a solid wood piece and the top was in a good shape, I paint washed it (off-white) and varnished.
