BEFORE: Actually this is after priming, it was beat up wood originally. It is a very nice sturdy piece. AFTER: This was a three step painting process. After priming it got two coats of vibrant red. Introducing: The Tree of Life: A sponge off effect with a gorgeous Aubergine gave this piece it's final paint effect. A Gustav Klimt print over the large bottom drawers made it even more unique and special.This is a unisex piece that could appeal to most any one looking for a piece with personality. A true center point for many rooms: Bedroom, entryway, guestroom, office, etc etc... Stay Groovy! * Kelly
