Something To Be Said For Handmade

On one of my weekly trips to Goodwill I was weaving my way through the furniture department glancing at a few pieces, not at all lingering since nothing was catching my eye.  I was feeling like I was waisting my time , which I hate because there never seems to  be enough of it or me to go around.  The only thing that was remotely a candidate for me was a smaller chest of drawers but it was pretty beat up.  As I gave it the once over, pulling out drawers, sniffing it, checking it for level (Oh yea, it’s quite the show for the regular humans in the Goodwill!)  I decided to take a chance on this little $10 piece of furniture.  It was pretty obvious that someone had made the chest themselves.

The drawers themselves were in pretty good shape.  It is made of solid, lightweight wood and I already loved the size of it.  So here in my kitchen floor it sat until I could settle on a color for the paint.

So Navy it was.

In all honesty?

I’m pretty sure that the knobs are the show here :)))

They are glass knobs from Hobby Lobby that were actually on clearance.

 So at $1.27 each????  I was thrilled!

🙂

I painted 3 coats of Dixie Belle In The Navy  on this one to help smooth out all the rough spots that it had.  It was a nice choice for this little neglected chest and those knobs are just something fun. Earlier I mentioned the nice size of the chest earlier and it really could go anywhere in anybody’s home.

 It’s just that flexible.

I have really enjoyed getting to know the Dixie Belle paint line.  It’s coverage is perfect, minimal brush strokes, no odor, dries quickly but not too fast and the price is good.  Plus there are two dealers near my house!  I will have links to all the products that I used on this project at the end of the post.  ******* These will be affiliated links which means that we make a small commission from your purchase while you cost stays the same.  *********

Have a great week ahead ya’ll!
