After a new vintagey blue storage cabinet made her home in my studio recently...
I shook hands with a new guy living in the guest room.
He's tall and stately and masculine and oh so handsome.

full of chips and marks and scratches and stains.
He's been around the block a few times.

But nothing that a little swipe of paint can't handle.
He even offers a sectioned drawer for socks.
What a guy.
He will receive a new coat of paint soon,
and I'll once again pull out the Crackle Tex
to age him a little more.

The current chips will be candle waxed so that they'll still be there when I distress it.
And I'm still deciding whether to paint the pulls or not.

Yes, he's a big gent,
and he takes up a bit more space than what I had anticipated.
