Farmhouse Chest in French Country Colors

by

I posted last week about the very, very old chest…DSCN9150Well, turns out I was right about the age!  Saundra in Wisconsin was reading my blog and was amazed that there was a picture of a chest almost identical to the one she inherited from her husband’s grandmother.  She believes her piece originated from Finland and dates from 1900.  Fascinating!  She is getting hers worked on by a carpenter and painted.  I will post a pic of it when she sends it along!  In the meantime, here is my french country yellow and blue farmhouse chest…farmhouseI just am so happy with the way it turned out.  The yellow really compliments the thick golden top that really stands out now after being refinished…DSCN9173  I painted the interior blue…DSCN9181 and it is all nice and clean and ready to go to a new home.  DSCN9174Hopefully its new home will appreciate it and treat it with the respect every beautiful old piece deserves!

  2. Oh how I would love to have an old piece like your dresser. Pretty color on her. Glad you left the top natural, so nice. I see so many pieces now with top left with wood look and body painted, such a great look, loving it. Love the sunny yellow, would be so cheerful to have in a room. Your dresser would be gorgeous in a dining room as a buffet also. Great job. Glad I found your post on Furniture Feature Friday. Always enjoy looking at many good posts. Lots of inspiration.
