Eclectic Design Inc: Lovely Transformation.....

As soon as I saw this piece I knew I liked it. It took me awhile to definitely commit to purchasing it as I have never been drawn to this style of furniture which is sometimes referred to as Depression Era or Waterfall pieces. But after my transformation on the piece below which turned out super pretty and sold within 24 hours I decided to give this next piece a chance.

She is a lovely Highboy or Chest of Drawers - I have heard this style referred to as both. I prefer Chest of Drawers as when I picture a Highboy I picture a piece with many drawers on legs.

Below is a Vintage Highboy I restyled.

This piece definitely does not have legs but she has some pretty feet!

Along with the pretty feet she has an unusual carved floral piece on top. The lines along the sides and on the feet paired with the floral carving on top and the draped swags on the hat door make me think this was a transitional piece. Somewhat of an Art Deco influence with Art Nouveau mixed in!

The drawers are solid and well made with dovetailed sides. The fronts of the drawers had the geometric wood grain patterns. I know some of you may cringe when you see that I painted them. She had to have a complete face lift!

Sorry - I have no before photos with the drawers in as they came home the day prior to the case and were already painted.

I gave this beauty three coats of paint in an off white that I mix myself and have named Sterling as it has a very slight hint of grey. The case received three coats of a soft mint green.
