I came to this post prepared to be sad about yet another piece of mid-century furniture ruined with chalk paint. I was thrilled to find that you not only didn't use chalk paint, but also you kept and improved the signature look of the piece by using a stain on the parts that were most visible - the drawers. I normally hate painted furniture, especially historically valuable pieces, but based on your description, the case of the piece almost had to be painted and yet you retained the original charm. You did such a lovely job and I am so glad I looked at your post to see it. Beautifully and sensitively done.
