So… What would you call this piece? Is it a table? A nightstand? A chest of drawers? I’m really not sure!!
I picked it up at an auction a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was really cute. After more thoroughly inspecting it at home, I am pretty sure that it was handmade. So, it was probably designed to fit a specific purpose and space.
I wanted to do something totally different with this piece. I dry brushed it with one coat of paint, then gave it a sanding. I did the body in white and the drawers in turquoise.
I also switched out the hardware. I don’t think that the knobs that came with it were original to the piece, because they were actually unfinished wooden ones.
Because this is the first piece I have done in this manner, I am a little uncertain. Do you think that it looks alright? Or should I perhaps go over it again with more paint?

I think it looks like it used to be a sewing machine cabinet in another life. They probably secured the 'lid' down, and made drawers for it. It looks fabulous, whatever it used to be!
