Mid-Century Chest in Grey (SOLD)

This is one sleek piece of furniture.  :-)

The modern look of a mid-century chest is so awesome, isn't it?  I love the clean lines and the pencil legs.  Pieces like this make me feel like a grown up.  Sophisticated and fancy and all that jazz.  ;-)  

I'm also finding that these chests aren't as easy for me to get my hands on recently.  It seems that every time I see one, it's already sold or has 10 different offers.  So - my conclusion is that these puppies are in high demand.  I was delighted to get the chance to work on this one.

The color on this beauty is a custom mix of Old White and Graphite…. which turned out as a lovely, mellow, muted gray with a teensy touch of blue.  It's a gorgeous color and fits the piece so well.  

Don't you love the hardware?  So cool.

I felt as thought the clean lines of this piece would look best without distressing to distract the eye - so it got a solid paint job.  It also got 2 coats of clear wax to deepen the color and give protection.

Please excuse the concrete floor in most of the photos.  I typically bring my pieces inside to photograph them, but I wanted to show this piece against a pure white wall so that the color would show accurately - and at the moment, my garage is the only white-walled space.  :-)

Made by Curtis Bros Furniture, this piece is solid wood and in excellent condition.  All of the drawers are dovetailed, clean, and work perfectly.  There's tons of great storage space.  

Measuring 46'' tall x 38'' long x 19'' deep, this piece would work well for so many different rooms - great in a foyer, great in a bedroom…. great in any room where you need a beautiful piece of furniture that also offers storage.  :-)  It's priced at $420 (SOLD).
