How to upcycle a chest of drawers

Learn how to use chalk paint for a sophisticated finish.
  • 10 Nov 2023

Nothing can quite beat the craftsmanship of vintage furniture. But as fashions come and go, they often look dated. With just such a chest of drawers, Juliet’s going to give them an update that will keep the classic design but updating it for modern times. Adding a backing board not only creates some functionality but drama as well, while chalk paint gives it an effortlessly sophisticated look, making it the focal point of any room.
