Padded Front Floral Draws

Finished Piece

Our newest piece to come out of the work shop !! We got given these draws and they were in pretty bad condition. The fronts were all scratched up so a sand an paint really wouldn't of cut it this time. So we decided to do something different and cover these in fabric and pad them to give a bit of definition. I don't think they could of come out better in my opinion.
Electric Staple Gun

We bogged and sanded the drawers and base. The base we painted with 2x white undercoats and then 2x white top coats. They were then buffed with English wax for a soft to touch feel. The wax was brought at our local Panel and Hardware shop, they imported the wax from England. It is the best product we have found to give your furniture the best finish possible.
Padding Front Of Draws

To cover the front of the draws we cut foam the same size as the draw front and then then fabric a little bigger~about 4cm extra on all side to go around the edge for a clean finish, excess fabric can be cut off. We then used an electric staple gun as it is really tired and not much effort is needed. We then finished the piece with some old brass handles which were very romantic looking. 

 If you love this piece as much as we do these are currently for sale on Trade me ~ search members for firstnest
