Last summer while in Oregon my sister and I shopped at several Goodwill Stores. I came across this great set of drawers. They needed a little update to fit in with the decor of my art studio.
Before the makeover…
This is the four “teddy bear” themed drawers. I have to think that at one time it served as a cute little set of drawers in a baby’s room. But the “Teds” had to go!
After shot of the drawers…
Here is the finished drawers. I adhered four different fun papers to the fronts after removing the little knobs. I painted over the sides with a funky green. Also, ink-stained the sides of the drawers for a vintage look.
I wanted the top to look aged. I placed tissue paper down first then used several layers of blue, yellow and metallic paints. I pulled some of the tissue off. I rubbed oil pastels into the edges as well to give it even more of a worn look. The knobs are one of my favorite additions to my new vintage drawers.
