My newest addition to my Antique Booth "Shabby Chic Inspirations"

Kelly over at Kellys Korners is hosting Show us your life- Show us what you make.  I alter furniture to make it more decorative.  This is just one of many.  Go to Shabby Chic Inspirations to see much more.  Today I am adding this cottage style chest in my Antique booth. I just got done changing its look from a painted country red and blue dresser to a pretty cottage shabby chic chest. This dresser stood out to me because I really liked the top row of smaller drawers. It reminded me of a small dining room serving table and the smaller drawers could be used for utensils. I replaced the wooden knobs with antique brass knobs. I added the wood back with a wooden floral appliqué and painted it in heirloom white.
Here are some before and after pictures.   For my home page, Family American Style.

Antique Booth

Since my booth is in an Antique Mall I try to stick with original, vintage and antiques pieces. When I bring furniture home, I really try to think of a way I could make it an original piece. I want it to look like something you will not find anywhere else.
