Here it is on the thrift store shelf. I envisioned something frenchy.
After a couple coats of grey paint on the frame, I decoupaged the drawer fronts with decorative fleur de lis paper. Actually, the paper is a copy I made of a book cover.
I sealed the entire piece, and replaced the original knobs with numbered metal tacks.
What do you think?

I think that is my favourite of all the cabinets you've painted so far. Just perfect!!!
Love it Rosemary! Dee from My Painted Stuff
What a wonderful makeover. The cabinet is so frenchy and just too cute!
It hardly looks like the same piece! Love it.
I love it, Rosemary! You've transformed that ugly duckling into a beautiful {French}swan! : )
What a cute jewelry box makeover! I love the metal number the tacks!
This is a real cutie, Rosemary. There is no medium that you can't do, and beautifully I might add. I'd love to have my jewelry in it!
Hugs,

I think it looks fantastic. You did a great job, as usual.
How cute is that?! I love it!
That is just too cute!
What a cutie pie. Don't you just love when you KNOW exactly what you are going to do. Those are the best. I have a lamp sitting on my table just waiting for me to tackle it. I do believe I know what I am going to do though. I started a little bit today.
I love it Rosemary!!
Looks amazing! A lot of people would have walked by this piece, not giving it a second look, but you saw beyond the ugly green paint and those old fashioned knobs.
I think it's too cute!
I love the little numbered knobs!

I think this is gorgeous! What vision!
keeping, selling ... what's a creative girl like you to do??
what a visionary!!
That is absolutely charming! I love the numbered tacks for drawer pulls. The color combo is so fresh too.
Only you could make something so sad looking turn into something so beautiful!!! What a difference.
I saw a comment you left on someone else's blog, where you made mention of your age, not in exact numbers...and I do not believe you could possibly be the age you eluded to!!! I had you pegged at about 14 years younger!
Score of ten with no deductions for form errors. OOPS! I have watched too many Olympic events! Love this chest. What are those numbered metal tacks - did you make them?
