Vintage Lingerie Chest Turned Gray

Vintage Lingerie Chest Makeover

This vintage lingerie chest was in very nice shape when I purchased it.  I’m sure there are many people who would like it in its original condition and would say “don’t paint it” but I beg to differ.  By painting it, it becomes that much more unique and instead of appealing to the masses, wherever/whoever they are, it appeals to the one person who will put it in her home. At the end of the day, I think that is the only person who truly matters!

Hardware – Replacing Vintage Hardware

In the case of this particular vintage lingerie chest, my lovely customer chose to replace the existing hardware with new brushed pewter paisley cup pulls from D. Lawless Hardware. They always have such a great selection of hardware!painted lingerie chest, paisley hardware, d lawless, new hardware

Drawers – Lining Drawers

The chest is a bit deceiving and actually has five drawers rather than the standard seven. The bottom two drawers are extra large double drawers, and all of the drawers have been lined with a removable soft blue-gray wallpaper. painted lingerie chest, painted chest, just the woods, lining drawers, vintage lingerie chest

The Result – Painted Vintage Lingerie Chest

The body of this vintage lingerie chest has been hand painted in multiple layers of different shades of gray.  The entire chest has been distressed to perfection before being sealed for protection. I promise I wasn’t trying to rhyme there. Click here to find this same finish on the Painted Pineapple Pedestal Table.

    My name is Amy and I seem to have a lot in common with you in regards to projects and ideas always running from one to the other. I did a similar finish on a flower box that I gave to my sister and I was curious how you accomplished this one. Did you use white wax or dry brushing? the piece is beautiful and now I m going to have to check out that hardware site.
    thanks

        Hello, this piece is gorgeous. I have a similar piece and was going to throw it out. It’s in perfect condition. I will try painting it to breathe new life into it. Thank you for inspiring so many! I don’t paint but I will give it a try. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Very well done. Thanks for sharing. I have read all of the comments and questions. I have one more question. You said you lined the drawers with a soft liner. Is that fabric or some special lining? I think it is perfect whatever you used.
