I have been looking for some Hollywood regency faux bamboo furniture for quite some time and finally....after searching daily....I found a great deal on Craigslist! A faux bamboo armoire and chest of drawers...best part....it's Drexel (which became Drexel Heritage in 1977)! The armoire has chicken wire where glass would normally be. Does anyone know if this is original?? I was thinking I would paint them white gloss. I think with the original hardware, it would look nice. What do you think? Any ideas? It will be in our extra bedroom, which will one day be a nursery.

This is great. If it were mine I would paint the outside the glossy white color that you like then I would either paint the inside a very vibrant color or wallpaper it with a vintage print wallpaper. Then remove your hardware and spray paint it with a coordinating color (from the interior) just my thoughts :)

Good ideas Jessica! I love faux bamboo furniture! To me....timeless!
ReplyDeleteLove love these pieces, what a treasure you found it pays to do research because you found a beauty in this set and it is so well made, timeless. The gloss white is the perfect choice. I think I would use a bright colored paint in the interior, something that makes you smile!!! I saw your comment on the Xbench when she gets them I will let everyone know. I am just so excited to find ones that are affordable and with chrome legs that was something that had to be in the room. Kathysue
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy Sue! I can't wait to get them done! Thanks for the advice. I would love to grab a couple of those x benches to put under my console!
