French Provincial Chest & Chalk Paint, What's Not to Love?

I found this chest of drawers by White Fine Furniture. It's a vintage French Provincial piece from the 1950-60s. It also has two bedside tables, a triple dresser and mirror. Here is a link to the matching dresser.
I painted, waxed and distressed this piece.

Just look at the solid maple drawers with dividers! 
I just painted over the hardware because it's so gorgeous!  I couldn't replace it!  I really like it distressed too. 

Doesn't she have pretty curves? I just love these vintage French pieces! Thanks for stopping by!

French pieces are my favorite! Love this chest. I'm looking for a smaller piece for a tv stand, haven't found it yet, though.

Gorgeous, Betsy! I just love these pieces! I wish I had more room here, I'd probably get more of them.

I remember when French Provincial faded from decors..they have made such a comeback with the facelifts that are so beautifully done...Beautiful..
