I had a set of drawers (tall boy) from my engagement back in 1997
i removed the feet and removed the drawer fronts, I then cut the edge around the top and bottom half back and rerounded the edges and sanded back the whole cupboard. I then lightly spray painted the top with Matt black aerosol paint and then varnished the top, lightly sanded it back once it dried and varnished it again repeated this process once more. I then used white paint and and messily painted the rest of the cabinet plus the drawers fronts with white paint but firstly I just turned the drawer fronts around so they were a flat surface and that was the new drawer fronts. The front of the drawers with the drawer fronts removed I spray painted black which then creates a shadow line and also the base was spray painted black. I the sanded the whit paint back where you could see the timber colour coming through much like the shabby chic look. Once all that was dry I varnished the rest of the drawers and then screwed the drawer fronts back on back to front.
