Drawer Dilemma – Part 2

Okay, so I put it out there that I needed creative input on how to finish my drawer chest. You can read about that here. Some of you asked about it’s size; it measures 26″ wide by 9″ high. I got some great suggestions so I decided to use Photoshop to test out some of your ideas. Here they are, minus the knobs of course.

My design inspiration came from a beautiful record cabinet by Miss Mustard Seeds. It will be a charging station that will rest on my sideboard which you can see here, there are white and dark furniture pieces in the room, and, as many of you may know, I love the color blue.

So please chime in and let me know what you think? I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!

In the meantime, I heading over to:

  1. I like the white with the natural top. I think it would look good if you distress after all painting is done so that even the design is distressed. Can’t wait to see it.

  2. If you really love blue, I think one of the first two options would be the best bet … although I love each of them for different reasons!

  3. I like the first option, all turquoise with white painting.

    Miss M’s chest is lovely but it was much larger. On a small scale piece like yours I would use a smaller-scale stencil design. There are a ton of stencil options available. If you are set on your design I would go with the white option as it shows off the leaf design best IMO. Will look forward to seeing it finished. Great project!

    Those are some great options. I am drawn to #1 and #3, but you need to go with what speaks to you. I can’t wait to see how it turns out and I am so glad one of my pieces was such an inspiration to you! :)

  8. What a great idea! I think I like the white and brown version best. It is going to be so pretty!
