TRICKING THE EYE map drawer dresser

Rabu, 24 Februari 2016

One thing Ive been keeping from you regarding our weekend Thrift Shop Hop
was the excellent deal one of my ladies got.
I spied this black dresser (nothing super amazing) but it had over
$70 worth of reproduction glass knobs on it.
The dresser had a price of $17.50 so I offered to add the dresser to the ever waiting list
of things to re purpose and she could take the knobs.
When I woke the next morning I walked out to see this dresser I had agreed to take on.
So simple, so boring, but it was made of plywood and solid wood, I can work with this.
All I could see was these funny divided drawers ...
I always tell ppl to work with what you got!
So I took a simple boring six drawer dresser and turned it into
a funky vintage looking map drawer chest.
All 6 drawers are completely lined with a heavy sheet music paper.
I added a dozen vintage handles with an antiqued brass finish to make it look like 12 drawers.
This is a super multifunctional piece, excellent height for a buffet,
would look fabulous as a TV console, or of course it would be great for bedroom storage.
I did work heavily on the structure, added a heavy and beautifully curving base molding,
along with a set of aluminum cabriolet legs
 
The legs I used on this piece are from Richelieu, product # BP560060
