Mid Century chest of drawers
This 1950’s chest of drawers had formica veneer on the drawers and top which was of course of its time. It did mean that there were virtually no scratches to the finish as formica is invincible in my opinion. Invincible it may be but attractive not so much, so a paint finish was called for. This colour is what I would call a French navy which I then paired with copper and silver leaf for a pop of shine. The original handles were also copper leafed and the legs, which were originally painted black, were stripped and stained. I think the result is a lovely contemporary piece of furniture which would fit well in any room in of your home.
