^^^Mine has been painted with an "öld gold" paint at some point, which was rubbed back to show the original tin underneath..the gold paint is nearly all gone now.
KEK-love the chair and the cedar dresser is an amzing bargain-well done!

Whilest on the subject and a bit to the left of it though.......I love your floorboards in your pic of chair......what are they?? Re: Never pass up a bargain 74Sep 18, 2010 9:03 am garden lover Kek I love that dresser. I have one very similar but with a much larger mirror. I was wanting to sell but am considering keeping now and doing the above......just not sure where to put it though? Whilest on the subject and a bit to the left of it though.......I love your floorboards in your pic of chair......what are they?? Just go ahead and do it anyway - and if you can't find a spot for it, you can always sell it as a restored vintage piece. Photograph it with and without the mirror so people can see the potential... The floorboards are fake. Laminated floating floor....it's an Armstrong product, can't recall the name exactly, but the colour was called cherry. It's actually equivalent in colour to Tassie Oak, which is what we were looking for. I think they name these things for the overseas markets. Confusing. I wish we could have afforded real timber boards, but then we wouldn't have window coverings or a driveway. Sometimes you've got to compromise.

The Chivas is real though - Fathers' Day pressie from one of the boys. That sucks! Hope it all works out. Good to move away from steel anyway for all your reasons, but it's also thermally poor. 16 17895 |
