Introductions: A Little Black Chest with Papered Feet, Named "Belen"

  When this piece came to me it had seen better days and needed some loving. It's ok....because that's what we do at Knack. There was already a pre existing "condition" of cream paint...and part of it had been stripped off and the rest left on.I made all of the necessary repairs which included two new drawer bottoms and a re nailing of the top......and then decided to paint the piece black over white and let all of the distressing and roughness play in to the character and design of the piece. Miss Belen has really plain and simple lines and I really wanted to give her some interest and pop.....so I papered her feet with hand made paper! It took a few hours to get the feet perfect....but it was worth every single second :}I love the finish on this piece......it reminds me of a starry night.....and then the brightly papered feet and painted drawer insides complete this little beauty perfectly.She'll be listed in the online shop later today.....or you can come by Knack from 9 am - 2 pm and see her in person!xo,Barb
