Usually when I pick up a piece of furniture and they are already white I am releaved as sometimes if saves me time painting them. However with this lovely set of drawers all I could see was French Grey.
Love the way they have turned out and I even kept the original hardware.
The gorgeous tall lamp base was a find from a few weeks ago that I finally got around to painting as well.

Stunning Sandy. Your so clever!
Sandy, It is gorgeous painted gray. Now...do you suppose if it had been gray you would have painted it white?:>) I think you love the challenge of renewing...and you do it perfectly~ Hugs-Diana
Yep, you sure have got 'the eye'!
Looks much better grey - gives it a more appropriate (I think) semi- 'industrial' look.
I think its the contrast between the very horizontal and shaped look to the top vs the Queen Anne legs!
Great :)
This is so beautiful! And the styling is amazing. It's perfect!
Have a great weekend!

Usually like you I paint every thing white, but really this time I agree with you: this soft gray color fits perfectly to the shape!
Have a beautiful WE darling!

Definitely much better with your magic touch :)
Beautiful colour, finish and piece. I love this makeover. Hope you're having a great weekend. x
Looks great Sandy. Another job well done. Ange
Love the French Grey- what paint do you use? I find it tricky to find the right colour! Emma.
I love it when I find a piece already painted white, but I'm like you, I usually end up painting it a color that I like.
That's just the way we creative types roll! LOL!

I love this! I was never a fan of grey, but now I'm coming around to see the light.
I really enjoy your blog!
Love it!! I like it white, but you are right looks sooooooooooo good grey and the original hardware looks perfect on it. Love this transformation. Thanks for sharing,

It is beautiful Sandy. I wish I had your knack of being able to "see" what colour something should be. I've been looking at an old rocking chair and rustic outdoor setting that I managed to find a few weeks back and for the life of me, can't decide what to do with them? I've been hoping that if I keep looking at them long enough - something will spring to mind! Hope your weekend in going well. ;)Sharyne
Beautiful Sandy. You have an eye for furniture finds!

Love it Sandy,
I have been painting with whites with that hint of gray and loving the distressed outcome.
I am catching up on all your beautiful postings over here, in fact I am not wanting to leave you.
I have to get to my shop space and deliver some gray's and I will be back for more inspiration.

keep inspiring all things French gray...
