Hello Ms. Ritu. Here's some info about a process you might consider. Also, the use aged looking "old world" maps might be a way to cover the sides or top of the piece.
That is a really deep chest and great for storage.
Go chalk paint. It dries fast with no special prep. 2 coats after you wash any dirt or oily prints off of it. Hit the edges with a little sandpaper in spots after you let the paint dry for a day. and use antiquing wax on edges. Use a TINY bit of wax it goes a LONG way. Just a tiny bit on a rag (you can add more but tougher to take off) to edges where fingers would touch around knobs and edges.
You could paint it a cream color and then add a brown glaze. If you like the "chippy" look, scuff with a sanding block.
Hi Ritu: Here's a site that has a lot of ideas. Just left click on a picture you want to look at and then on the second set of blue typing and it will give you more information. The first set of blue typing wants to sell you something, usually :)
