What was your inspiration?

had an old pine plate rack and a pine sideboard - and I wanted a painted dresser - so, screwed one to the other, painted,distressed and waxed it - and hey presto. Haven't quite finished yet!

What are you most proud of?

Cost peanuts!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Use a solid piece of furniture that will last centuries and you can't go wrong - and you can always change the colour when you get fed up. Here I used 'Fawn' by Farrow and Ball

A beautiful job, and I think the color is wonderful. Wish I had such an eye for putting the right color on the right piece.

Great idea to put these 2 pieces together. LOVE the color used. Thanks for providing the exact color and manufacturer of the paint too. Do have a blog of your other projects? Thank you for sharing and inspiring me!!!
