Maison Blanche had me at Creme de Menthe.
I knew I was going to love it!
I searched for the perfect chest to makeover. Ok, you’re right, they are all perfect for a makeover!
But I found one that was begging for a change.
The color was off, the wood dry, the drawers loose.
I feel certain the hardware was handmade. I used this treatment to save it.
I love being able to re-use hardware and this was perfect.
One of the drawers required too much repair, so I went with these.
I just measured and added a shelf board, to support the baskets.
I made little chalkboard tags for the baskets.
This is one of those makeovers that I wanted to keep.
I guess I fall in love easy, because that happens to me a lot 😉
There’s just something about a two tone makeover, a good mix of wood and paint.
Krystal says
Where are the baskets from?
Debbie says
They are from Hobby Lobby.

You know I’m a two-toner as well 😉
This is beautiful. The color combination reminds me of chocolate chip ice cream and THAT is the highest compliment possible. LOL. Have a great evening!
Becca says
But, of COURSE, Debbie! There you go again … creating a masterpiece! I love the color and the genius idea of adding the baskets! Such vision!
Emily says
I was wondering what you used to get that dark wood color – did you completely strip the drawers or just go over top with something?
Debbie says
Hi Emily, I sanded and stained with Rustoleum Kona stain. 🙂
Helen says
Debbie, it looks terrific, but I have one tiny question to ask…OK, here goes. Did you make a wall hanging or something else out of the piece on top with the shell on it? I can see it hanging many places.
Thanks,
Helen
Debbie says
Hi Helen, it will be repurposed for sure! Thanks.
Ann says
I think this is perfect! Thank you for including the link to the handle treatment. I need that for a piece I have. Don’t you think you could find a corner for this some place? ha!

Love the Creme de Menthe paint color!! I’d like to see the entire dresser done in that! The basket additions at the bottom are a nice addition.

That dresser looks amazing. The drawer swapped for baskets is a perfect accent.
