Chifferobe
Here's an advertisement for a chifferobe from 1912. It has a very similar design as my project.

Before
The paint colors are Country Grey and Old White.
 |
| Gentlemen's Chifferobe refinished in Country Grey & Old White (ASCP) |
 |
| A worn and aged finish with light distressing. |
 |
| Old White on the top, exterior panels, and interior cupboards and drawers. |
 |
| The knobs I selected were chosen to give a slightly more feminine feel to the piece. |
 |
| The drawer pulls are little more ornate and larger than the originals, but the scale still works. |
The pull itself is painted in Country Grey with hints of Old White. I dry brushed the back plate with Country Grey followed by a light dry brush of Old White.
 |
| The paint treatment on the pulls was chosen to give a very subtle contrast. |
 |
| The interior was a tough job, but I think it was worth it. |
Even more storage in the small cupboard area.
Thanks for stopping by.
Absolutely lovely! Would love to know the dimensions of such a piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't have the dimensions of this piece, but it was approximately 5 feet tall x 3 feet wide.
