a small chest of drawers

willl delivered this little piece to shelburne yesterday.  right on lake champlain.  a beautiful house in a beautiful spot.  its a smallish, 7 drawer chest, with sidehung dovetail drawers, felt on the drawer bottoms, and removable low dividers in each drawer.  i think the form is also called a lingerie cabinet and this one will be located in the clients bathroom.  click the photos to enlarge them.

 

 the construction was straightforward.  a ply case with drawer runners routed into it, and solid wood sides, top, and face frame.  the back is a piece of 1/2" plywood, painted on the outside.

  

  standard issue, quartered white pine dovetailed drawers ..

walnut divider grids, with hardware selected by the designer of the piece, michelle holland, an interior designer we have often worked with in the past.

the finish was clear m.l. campbell magnamax lacquer (a nod to the possible moisture in the bath).  a sweet little piece.
