Because I knew this chest wouldn't compete with a lot of decor, I chose to really doll it up by adding some of our great farmhouse items. We painted this chest per customer's request in Antique White with a light layer of Van Dyke...

A little goes a long way - I'll probably have this can of glaze for a very long time!
