It's Finished

of course I decided to paint it green (I really need to broaden my color palate). I replaced the knobs with glass ones, because 2 drawers had lost their knobs. I also did a little dry brushing of a cream color around the applique and on the legs, to bring out some of the details.

Main lesson learned: These drawer sets have 2 sides. They look the same except the side rails are different on one side than on the other. I actually mounted these backwards. If I'd mounted them right, the side rails would have a bit more detail. By the time I figured it out, I had decided it wasn't enough of a change to warrant de-construction.



I hope you liked this project. It was fairly easy. My DH routered the 2 pieces of wood that are the top and bottom. The rest of it was just nailed together, and then painted. The hardest part was finding the drawers. Here's a cost breakdown. Drawer sets $5.00 ea, Legs $2.00 ea, Glass knobs $1.00 ea, Paint-Left over-free, Top & bottom plates scrap wood, free, End result Priceless

Have a great day.

Update: Shortly after I made this post this morning I found out that my Grandmother (85) has passed away. Although I morn her passing, I KNOW she is Heaven bound. She was one of the first spiritual persons I met on this earth, and her faith was never wavering. You may not hear from me as much more this week due to family obligations.
