My parents picked this one up for me because it was closer to them. It's nice that they are always willing to make a furniture run for me! :) It's from Landstrom Furniture in Rockford Illinois - never heard of it but it's a 3 drawer solid wood mahogany french chest with dovetail construction. It would have been beautiful refinished, but painting is what I do. I sanded down the top in case I decided to stain it, but was pretty sure I was going to paint it anyway. Good thing because there were several water rings that I couldn't sand out. I painted in Annie Sloan's Paris Grey and Pure White and sealed with clear wax. I went over the pulls lightly with Pure White and sealed with Miss Mustard Seed's white wax.
