Oak chest of drawers brought back to life

The chest of drawers that went from ugly duckling to beautiful oaken swan. 

from this 


 to this 

This garage sale find had been mistreated and painted several times ( bright yellow covered by white). After stripping it down to mostly bare wood and replacing the cupboard door, the real magic started. The pediment with the wooden embellishments was added to the top creating a back splash. All of the drawers got reworked hardware and  stenciling on the sides which matches the back wall of the cupboard. Then it was fresh paint and embellishments added to the bottom to tie it all together.
