A neglected chest of drawers transformed into a charming and original piece

Discover the surprising transformation of an abandoned chest of drawers into a piece full of character and elegance, bringing a unique touch to our outdoor space.

A new life full of beauty

Step 1: Careful preparation

Before beginning the transformation, the chest of drawers needed a  thorough cleaning  :

  • Tools used  : Dishwashing detergent and wire brush.
  • Procedure  : After removing the old coating, each surface was meticulously sanded and cleaned to eliminate imperfections and residues.

Step 2: Coloring and customization

Painting played a key role in this restoration:

  • Exterior  : A  moss green  was chosen to bring a natural and soothing touch. Despite the absence of high-end paint,  two coats were applied.
  • Interior  : The plywood shelves were covered with acrylic paint salvaged from a previous project.
  • Golden touches  : The metal grilles of the doors have been painted with  anti-corrosion gold paint , adding a touch of elegance to the design.
