Chippy Gentleman's Chest of Drawers

I found this great Gentleman's chest of drawers at my local Flea Market and thought it was so interesting and had a lot of potential.  I love how the top opens up as a compartment for hats and then there are 3 smaller drawers on the side.  The bottom 3 drawers are large and can hold lots of things.  I snatched this piece up fast after a bit of haggling!

Here is the before picture:

The dresser had 10 knobs and one was broken and I did not like the knobs in the first place, so I needed to come up with a low cost solution.  I have a stash of extra knobs, but I did not have 10 that matched or that I thought looked good so.........

I went to the Hardware store and found some knobs for $1.28.  They were not a good color but they had good details, were cheap and metal so I bought 10 and headed home.  My idea was to paint them-- so I got out my white homemade chalk paint and gave the knobs a quick coat of paint.  I quickly rubbed off the paint with a cloth and the white paint was left in the ridges.  I love the knobs now!

I mixed up MMS Eulie's Sky Milk Paint and let the chippy magic happen:

After a few coats of paint I got out my scraper and went to town!  I also did a quick sanding to make the dresser smooth and to get the last flakes off.  Next came AS clear wax and it was done.
Love it!
