yes… it does lighten up the look and you still retain the beautiful lines of the furniture.
I am wondering about the knobs now, to balance out the white. (not necessarily white ‘matchy’ knobs but it seems to need some kind of a bridge from the dark wood to the white frame)… any thoughts?
This is one of my favorite Chicago stores! Terry, the owner, has phenomenol taste and is always finding great pieces. His colors and style is one-of-a-kind.
Oh my goodness. I must admit that I’m not a huge fan of mid-century furniture (blasphemy, right?!), but this is absolutely fabulous!
oooh me too…this looks great…especially for a piece that needs a little TLC.
that’s my favorite store in chicago! i’ve been meaning to do this to my dressers as well…

Such a great idea… Must remember that one!
Good point, Carol. I am thinking I love a non-descript sort of handle that kind of just blends in.
I was just in White Attic last week, drooling over these. That whole store is wonderful.
Oh, wow! That really does look amazing. I would have never thought of doing something like this.
yes, kind of what my eye was seeing too Chelsea… nothing too distinct but it should separate a bit from the wood.
oh, lovely! it brightens everything up so much!
I am totally going to do this this summer!
I already have the dresser, now I just have to start the project

oh! what a brilliant idea. i love this.
I’ve never been much of a fan of painting wood, especially midcentury!, but I’m won over with how sweet and fresh this looks.
