French Grey Drawer Makeover


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.

    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 🙂

    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!

    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

    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.

    xx
    keep inspiring all things French gray…
