Lindy at Cottage Hill had owned a bow front chest for years. She wasn’t in love with the wood look and overall found the piece pretty “blah,” making the decision to paint it an easy one. Lindy didn’t just stop at changing the color of the chest. She went all out, adding braches with craft paint and decoupaged birdies with Mod Podge. I love that Lindy totally went for it with this piece and rocked it. It’s definitely not blah anymore!
Lindy was inspired by the hand painted furniture from Patina such as this Aria Chest.

This looks great. In fact, it has me eyeballing some of my own furniture...including a television cabinet, whose plain Jane oak finish I've never liked...
