CHEST OF DRAWERS

Anyhow, back to crafting...

My summerhouse is bursting with furniture that I have been saving to practice restoring on and I am now eager to empty it in time for summer entertaining (it COULD happen!). 

I have decided to do a quick overhaul on this piece first as it is one of the biggest:

Someone tried to paint it with gloss but it's pretty easy to sand down and chalk paint. 

I have just removed the handles and sanded it and now I'm waiting for the paint to dry on the last layer:

Its a fairly easy piece to do so I'm enjoying it :)

Looking forward to being able to get in the summerhouse to repaint the interior again though. 

Woohooooo!
