MISFIT HANDLES - shabby chic chest of drawers


 
 
 
One of the many repurposing projects I have
undertaken is finding new ways to use vintage
hardware. Whether I find one lonely handle or
12 ugly ones I collect them until some great
sets can be created. I started using the word
"MISIFT" to describe the unique collection
of hardware when I was listing them in my
 
 



This 1930's chest of drawers shows off how MISFIT handle sets can be used.
I used matching pairs for these drawers but you can also use single handles down the middle.
Note there is also a tiny set of knobs on the second drawer.
 
 
I have also applied wood appliques on the drawer and the base apron
to change the overall look of the piece.

  
 
 
This dresser is painted in a distressed Annie Sloan White with a waxed finish.

appliques to choose from at firstfinds so stop in and see what you can find.
