When Patsy emailed me to tell me about her freshly made-over chest, my mind immediately went to the gutter, because I am 12 years old like that.
Then I prepared to be jealous, because hey, I wouldn’t mind a freshly made-over chest either.
THEN I saw the chest in question and was thoroughly impressed and also jealous because she got this solid wood piece for $35 and those pulls are equally as awesome and she paid $12 total for them. Truly looks like an $800 item from Pottery Barn.
See it on her blog The Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore. Thanks Patsy!

July 18, 2012 at 2:58 PMAMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe this transformation!! I would have never seen THAT potential!! I would have repainted it but wouldn’t have thought those pulls and that latch would pull that piece off like THAT! This post has me snaping pictures of the screen and sending them via tests to ALL my friends, saying “THIS is why I love makeovers!”
