French Provincial Chest of Drawers


I found a beautiful French Provincial Chest of Drawers on craiglist. (see the saga here)

I just LOVE the lines and curves and feminine feel of these pieces. I wanted an antique, old world sort of feel to this piece – as if it had been painted and faded, and painted again and aged again – but still keeping the gold in places as if  the paint had come off revealing the gold underneath. So let me know what you think….did I accomplish my goal??

 Here is the before picture:
(not the best picture- I took it from the craigslist ad on my phone)
 

And here are the AFTER:





Ta daaaa!!!
