Chest of drawers and matching bedside table.

Here is the original color. Not unattractive but the tops are pretty beaten up. So.....

Here is the first drawer painted,waxed then patina wax worked in. 

I used Fat Paint Parchment, clear wax then patina wax. I used a brush to put on the patina then worked it back off with a clean brush and a rag. 

Finished. The lighting is poor (sorry) but you can see the variations in the dark wax to give a bit of the French provincial  style color variation. The drawer pulls are so much prettier now they aren't lost against a dark finish. It took a lot of elbow grease to get the patina wax blended but it was worth the hard work.
