My friend has commissioned me to restore and spice up this roll top for her.
When I first brought this piece home it reeked of cigarette smoke, I actually had to air it out for a few weeks to get rid of the smell!
Now that I am fairly certain I am no longer in danger of dying from second smoke related cancer, I have gotten started on it! It has some fabulous pulls and lines, so I was pretty excited that she (my friend who is buying it) is letting be creative with it...well creative but staying in her color pallet. After I painted half of the pulls, I of course changed my mind, so now I need to go get paint stripper...should be a great time trying to get the blue chalk paint out of the grooves in the pulls!
Love it when that happens!
