Stunning Katie! The bamboo pull wrap was a brilliant touch on the drawer fronts and the cast iron paint colour really was a good choice. Love it. ❤

While I so admire your skill at restoring and renovating…I’m totally in awe of your vision.<br>Your ability to ‘see it’ before you even start a project is pure magic!❤️🇬🇧

The first color made me think of hunting lodge, plaids, French horns and leather sofas.

Oops - it looks like the legs got switched or twisted! Or maybe they're an unusual shape? If they are straight on one side and tapered on the other, the straight side should be on the outside and the taper should be on the inside. If you have them switched they look weirdly knock-kneed or unbalanced. Fixing them should be as easy as unscrewing the legs and switching them.

I love the way the handles mirror the bamboo texture. Nice choice.
