Traditional Chest-of-Drawers to Quirky Piece with Owl Knobs………Hoo woulda thought?

I run across these pieces all the time.

Traditional wood chest of drawers...

With the "flying eagle" hardware. 

Yuk. I really cringe when I see these pulls…

 I picked this up last week, 

and within an hour, it was base coated…

and those flying eagles had flown, baby!

I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint 

in Louis Blue for the main body,

and Old White for the drawer fronts.

 Then I wood filled the holes I didn't need……..

Here is the piece after two coats of paint, 

then distress sanding and waxing.

 I did this when I was in Greenwood last week, 

so I didn't have a lot of hardware with me...

 But I did have 8 of these great owl knobs, 

in various colors.

 The scale is a little small, 

but I think they'll work 

because they're so whimsical.

 Besides…

"hoo" doesn't like an owl?

 ..or two…

Love the patina on these.

 I used red on the top drawer, 

then turquoise, 

then yellow, 

then red again.

Here it is in my booth at Greenwood.

$219.

Good thing I did the assembly line painting last week…

cuz there's NO WAY

 I'm getting out there now in single digits.

Forgetaboutit!!!!!
