One weekend, my family took our last trip before I became a married woman to Kansas City. We shopped and shopped and shopped... and found the most amazing deals... with a little bitty car and no way to get them home (of course). One thing I did get home was this fabulous entry piece! With a little lovin' it became one of my favorite things in this house.
I found this Baker furniture chest at River City Trading - an out-of-this-world antique mall by downtown Kansas City.
Here is the before...
And after a thick coat of Navy... and hand silver leafing....
First we painted the sides..
then added the lamps...
My "catch" all bowl... (ok, ok, It's a glorified dog bowl. But it's perfect for keys, right inside the door!)
Lastly, a few twigs just for the time being until I find the most perfect artwork!
