The second I saw this chest for sale I knew I was going to remove the bottom and add tapered wood legs and I couldn’t be happier with how it updated the look.

General Finishes is just amazing!!! Beautiful Twilight color
"Just completely revived this antique piece! Who thought that these dusty heirlooms of the past could be such treasures of the present?! The original plan for this dresser was to paint the body and to stain the drawers, but we saw so much more potential. By simply painting it in dark GF Lamp Black Milk Paint, adding a subtle stencil trim, and finishing with a complimentary stain, it made this floral technique sing."
