Henry Link French Provincial Drawer Pulls

What a wonderful find. Any of the paint couture products with a simple glaze would be lovely. I would suggest Italian Ivory with either Champagne or Zinc Glazes. Be sure to clean very well with TSP from the hardware store and rinse with water before painting for better adhesion!. Use rubber gloves.

Paint with chalk paint in a color to match your decor, and change out the pulls

• @The Hall Group or just spray the drawer pulls a different color :)

Chalk paint in your favorite color.(I personally love the new black furniture look.) Distress with sandpaper if you want a more "shabby chic" look, and add updated drawer pulls. You can fine a wide variety of reasonable pulls at Lowes or Home Depot or on online. Be sure and post pictures of the finished project

To keep them close to what they are, chalk paint ivory and sand to add the age then use clear wax. But think about changing then up some. Get creative and have fun.

I've never used Annie Sloan paint before but that would be my first suggestion. What a great find! What type of finish is on the top of these dressers? Years ago we bought a set like this for our daughter and it had a "melamine like finish" on top..don't know how you would handle that if yours has that. Maybe some experienced furniture finishers can offer you some advice. Why would people put beautiful, useful stuff by the curb like that? Guess they knew somebody would grab it quickly..I love that French provential style. Check out a blog called" My Romantic Home" blog and see what Cindy did with some used French Provential furniture like that. It is beautiful but a dining room set not bedroom but she is really a delightful person and will answer your questions if you email her.

They would be gorgeous in a high gloss finish with gilded/metallic accents in the grooves (grey, ivory or white with silver or gold), then update the handles with fresh spray paint or buy new - Hobby Lobby has some really nice ones. For even more 'wow' do mirrored tops.

If the current paint is in good shape, you could glaze right over it to give it an antiqued look. My mom did this in the 60's with some furniture and it looked great!

• @Sweet Peas Charm can this paint be wiped clean?

I would use Young Kansas Wheat by CeCe Caldwell on these pieces. The paint will update the look and give them that great French feel. American Paint Company is another great choice in chalk paint. Odor free and easy to work with.

Hi Chantell. There is a million awesome ways and different color combos you can paint these. Where do you plan on putting them? Here's a couple of ideas, pics I had saved on my Pinterest board.

• I'm leaning towards the first one with an antique cream/beige instead of white.

• @J Luv the color combo of the table! What brand and color paint is the blue?

dark gray with white in the indents and spray paint the handles black or silver this is what I'm doing to the dresser I have that matches your set . I'm leaving the top white.

There are endless beautiful makeovers all over Pinterest/HomeTalk/blogs etc.of this style furniture. The photo below is one of my most favorite French Provincial makeovers, ever. In my opinion, it's simply stunning and so current done in gray and white. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I originally saw this photo, or who did the makeover but I did make note that the gray color was Hunter's White by Valspar, and the white was Heirloom White, a Rustoleum color. One of the HomeTalk members painted this beauty: http://www.hometalk.com/3061625/shabby-or-fine-finish-what-s-your-look

• @Shari I agree Shari, it was one of my favorite on Pinterest. There have been so many beautiful pieces done but this one was my favorite. I think the gray is soft enough and the hardware just makes this a stunning piece. Do you remember who posted that piece of furniture Shari?

• T was by someone who sells her stuff on Etsy but there wasn't a name. My fav too.

Drawers lined.

I also would use chalk paint ...but first, paint a little red in the raised areas and a little duck egg blue...then a gray or off white as the base. Sand the raised area's so the other colors come threw...

Val Pieroni, that is an interesting recommendation. The color contrasts would be interesting for sure. I like it!. Chantel, you have lots of great ideas here to choose from. I personally love Annie Sloan's paint because it is so easy to work with. Good luck. By the way, the dressers are an incredible find!

Absolutely! Also their paste wax is awesome and it will give a nice hard and beautiful finish! You can buy the paint on my website and you can also read the blog I wrote about it. You can't go wrong and I don't say that simply because I sell the paint. I seriously love it and it's the only paint I use now! sweetpeascharm.com

I posted a response to this last night, but I don't see it so I'll try again! :) Plaster Paint can absolutely be wiped clean! You can go to my website to read my blog about it and to purchase it...you'll be so glad you did! sweetpeascharm.com

corner creations here, i have seen some cute concepts on pinterest.com/ graphic fairy too,

I am working on a tall dresser like yours right now-not quite finished but you get the idea!

This is part of a bedroom suite we bought 37 years ago. Seemed expensive to us, but it really wasn't great quality so i didn't mind painting it white a few years ago, and just recently, used Rustoleum paint to do this. it looks great! For about $30
