Make a Chest of Drawers With Heart Cut Outs and Distressed Finish
by

This chest of drawers is inspired by that of maison du monde and has three spacious drawers and beautiful heart cut outs in the drawer fronts. The entire chest of drawers is painted and distressed to give it a vintage effect.
YOU WILL NEED:
Glue the feet sections together, leave for a couple of hours and then attach the feet to the base using 40mm screws. Put the base aside for now.
Draw heart shapes onto the drawer fronts and cut these out. Now you can assemble the drawers as shown below. The sides are secured between the drawer front and back and then all pieces are secured to the base.
Test fit the drawers to make sure they slide nicely in and out of the cabinet.
Sand and Paint
Finishing
Drill holes and secure your choice of knobs or handles. We painted pine handles to match the colour of the chest of drawers.
