drawers

With limited closet space and cold weather arriving, I have been thinking about dressers and chests of drawers. I have a ton of warm clothing I still need to bring over to the apartment and I have no place to put it all. My father makes reproduction Chippendale furniture and made me a huge dresser when I was little. It’s beautiful but really not my style and I have been reluctant to haul that monstrous mahogany piece over. Yesterday on Design Milk, I fell in love with this chest by SylvanSF. Their website is a dead end, difficult to look at individual pieces and prices are nowhere to be found. Each piece is a limited edition and everything is made from unique materials like horn, bone, leathers, and exotic veneers. Obviously, I could never afford any of it but, I just thought I’d share this gorgeous chest. The size is perfect and so is the pattern.

This chest is so decadent and despite the fact that it’s gold, it’s muted and warm and would blend in any decor without being garrish.

My bf is a huge lover of squids and whales and kind of oohed and ahhed when I showed him this chest.

The shapes are simple and with a some patience I think someone could diy something similar to any of these pieces for their home. There are tons of metalic paints and antiquing finishes/techniques out there. There are also continuous walpaper stencils in abbundance on the interwebs and I know I’ve seen some geometrics. Maybe you could find an intricate wall decal and simply cut accross it carefully and apply it to a set of drawers you already have.
