Ahh, the power of paint! I had to show this one as I have the same dresser (only in tall chest form) and I have been dying to paint it but haven't landed on a color yet. I am in love, love, love with the Chinoiserie style! Well done.

Looks like they kept the hardware but painted it brass? What do you think...should I keep the hardware on mine? Get new? Paint them the same color as the chest?
