Pine Chest Makeover in Mora and Restyled Cabinet

I told y'all I'm on a painting binge and this chest became a victim, too. This chest was in pretty poor condition and I had put off painting it until now. Mr. Savvy was surprised I even bought this since it isn't super sturdy. Yea, it's a bit rickety, but I love the shape of it and it didn't cost much.

I painted everything, but the drawer fronts. I used Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in Mora.

I did not add any bonding agent and was hoping the paint would chip, but it didn't. There are some spots I thought might where the wood is showing through the paint, but no chipping or peeling.

I painted the knobs in Typewriter with the same milk paint. 

I sanded some of the black off.

While we are here I thought I would share how I restyled the cabinet. I placed this little silver wind up clock that I found at the flea market last weekend next to some old books.

Another old and crazed Dundee Marmalade jar was added to my collection from this etsy shop. The more crazing the better.

More old books. I love decorating with these.

A framed sheep picture sits on each shelf. I have had these for years.

This fellow stands in front.
