We removed some of the ornate fretwork on the dresser drawer faces to simplify the design. We lacquered the dresser in a very pale grey custom color pulled from the De Gournay wallpaper. For added depth, a faux striation was created on the whole piece. The original hardware was replaced with custom brass escutcheons with lemon yellow tassels.
