CHESTS......... large or small

Not a question one is asked very often , unless you're going for breast augmentation !!!! He he. I think that a lot of people ( not , of course , my fellow bloggers who love interiors ) think that a chest of drawers is a chest of drawers , but , I think that the following pictures show the variety that can be found in this useful piece of furniture ( although , for me , it's just another container that I can fill up with objects I don't know what to do with !!!!!! )I love this one. I wouldn't mind having a go at trying to achieve this paint finish myself.
Simple but effective.

We always need lots of storage in the bathroom. Unfortunately, I can't get one this size in my bathroom , probably a good thing as I'd just fill it up with things to make me look younger that won't make me look younger and cost a fortune !!!!

Drops mouth open wide and salivates !!!!!!

I think that this is so pretty and would look lovely in a bedroom ( to put all of the clothes in that I can't throw away but never wear !!!!

I think that you all might know what I would say about this one if you have read the above !!

This has got nothing to do with chest of drawers but I have just bought these boots and they have just come , this morning. What do you think ? I love them. They have leather on the shoe part and canvas uppers so you can wear them in the summer. Not sure if I can wear them on my holiday on the Amalfi coast though !!

Not so naff now!!!!..........

The following cupboards/dressers have wallpaper at the back which, when I was a child, was thought of as really naff but I think these look lovely.My daughter has this decorative shelf, which she bought from Cox and Cox. This is where I got my inspiration for my cupboard, a picture of which is at the end of this post.
This one, from Country Living, is a little too fussy for me but still looks good and just gives it a bit of a twist.


This is my favourite as the dresser has such a mellow finish and the wallpaper at the back just lifts it. This dresser is from No.eight.

.......... and here is my little effort. It's quite subtle but I think that you can see the wallpaper. It was just a plain, pine cupboard /shelf that I painted with Farrow and Ball Lime White, rubbed it down with sandpaper to distress it and finally gave it a coat of wax (from Annie Sloane) and it is now in my study. I will take photos of my study to show you how it looks in the room,
