Rustic Chic Chest

By Willow Road Cottage; Catherine Peick Pilon, Lakeville, MN, Owner Designer at Willow Road Cottage in Lakeville, MN.

This chest of drawers delivers all of the traditional elements that has delighted designers for years and years. But I ramped it up a notch to please a wider, more eclectic audience, so created what I like to call my “rustic chic” look, using a General Finishes Chalk Paint base antiqued with silver metallic paint, General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in Satin, General Finishes Van Dyke Brown glaze, and two more coats of General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in Satin. The icing on the cake is new hardware in a dark, rustic finish to create a compelling addition to any home.
