Cedar Chest + Metal File Drawers Equal....



Vintage metal file drawers. 
Love them.
I have been trying to build something with them for quite some time.
 
Vintage painted Lane cedar chest + 3 vintage metal file drawers + 3 pieces of painted wood
 
Voila!  A console!
 
The pieces are not attached to each other in any way.  I wanted the cedar chest to
be available for storage.  Comes apart and goes back together in a flash.
 
I think it would be a great TV console.

Make Over - Mid Century Nightstand




 
 
I found this little nightstand not too long ago and I loved it's shape and style.
It could have been left alone, but I had ideas of giving it a new life and look.
 
 
 
I think it looked great after a couple of coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!
Unique.  Bright.  Mid Century. 
Just what I wanted for this little nightstand.
It now lives in another home with someone that loves it too.
