Ya’ll……..
The Goodwills here in Asheville have been open for over two week and I finally went in one, and came out with this:
And YES it was the curves on the bottom!
It sure as hell wasn’t the price tag but I was desperate, thanks in huge part to Big Daddy’s edict about the garage. How sweet is this detail ya’ll? This chest of drawers is in great shape and clean as can be. It just need to be dolled up some. It was more than I wanted to pay but it was really nice to not have to fix something before you could even refinish it.
Give me some black & white .
Any day.
The body is painted in Fusion’s Champlain, which is not a true white but a really lovely cream. I have found that I actually prefer it to a white. It’s also warmer.
The show on this piece is the hardware ya’ll !
These black metal pulls remind me of the pulls you find on campaign style furniture, except these are surface mounted and Im thinking the campaign ones are recessed……..I could me wrong.
Here’s the non affiliated link:
I am so glad to have found these. I feel like I have run cup & bail pulls in to the ground around here. These have a decidedly industrial feel but are still sleek .
The surprise in the drawers?
The paper is from Society6 and it’s called Adobo Cloud.
This is an affiliated link. Just click the photo below and it will take you to this particular paper.
Let’s talk about Society6 for a moment.
Much like Etsy in they way that it is a multi artist marketplace. The only thing that I have purchased from Society6 is paper. If you are interested in the getting any of the papers I use, just type wrapping paper in the search box and have fun! The funny part about Society6 is if you are in love with any of the papers I have used here on the blog??? You can purchase a duvet cover or side table to match. I am crapping ya’ll negative.
Back to the papers….
They are sold in 5 sheet sets, 20″ x 29″ each for $12 plus $5 for shipping to here in NC. They almost always have some sort of sale going on and I’ve seen as much as 40% off. Right now, for Memorial Day the papers are discounted 20%. Every single order I have received has a $5 0ff coupon in the tube it’s shipped in. Note: one or two sets of paper is an order and ships in one tube together in your mail box with one coupon. If you order 3 different papers it will be shipped in two tubes and you get two coupons. I hope this make sense and the coupons work with the sales ya’ll! Just as an example, I will need 4 sheets of the gorgeous black and cream paper to complete the drawers in this chest. With a great sale and coupon I paid about a little over half price for the particular paper and their shipping time is about a week currently.
The top is stained in Minwax Jacobean, which I can not seam to lay off of.
I do love how it looks on Maple ya’ll :)))
I hope I haven’t talked ya’ll to death tonight, I had a lot to say! I did struggle a bit with the knobs on this chest . I always like to mix the pulls and knobs on a piece and it just about bit me in the butt! The chest sat in out kitchen for 3 or four days while I tried every single knob I have on them and landed on glass. I really didn’t want a knob that competed in the least with the cool black industrial pulls.
I am going back to work ya’ll……. say a prayer for me, for all of us.

Want to say thank you for introducing Society6 – I went on their site and ordered 3 sets of wrapping paper and LOVE THEM! Lined my dining room “bar” (refinished 50’s style record cabinet) with the paper “Wine Bottles in Black and White” and it looks awesome. Can’t wait to use the others in the side tables we are refinishing. So very happy I found your blog; you’ve introduced me to some fun refinishing products. Good luck with the re-opening, and stay safe.
