Harlequin Chest

A friend of mine found an old chest on the side of the road - with a little patience and a lot of work, this is the transformation:

It came to me in this condition, with lifting veneer, tape on the top, and it was dirty!:


I painted it with ASCP and then stenciled the harlequin diamonds with my homemade chalk paint:
 

I sprayed the knobs with auto paint:


and that is how I spent my Saturday!

    I really love the diamond pattern, it is so perfect for the piece and I like the way it is so subtle...I can think of a lot of places to use this little table...

    You always know just the right touch to transform dull and throw away into treasure.
