Hey there everyone!
I am continuing on with the second part of the project I did last week. If you missed it, you can read all about it here. It was on a MOPPE drawer chest from IKEA that underwent a color change during my first post.
Thank you for all the amazing ideas in the comments, I figured out pretty much what to do with it. Since it is a lot of work, I did the front face of it this week. :) I'm sorry winters got me all lazy. I really don't want to move in this weather :p (it is -19C)
I am really happy with the result. The only thing that is left is probably the knobs that I really want to add to it. I will probably leave it for later and then update this post whenever I get hold of the knobs and the drill.
So the chest sits on my table like this and I am loving it so far! Are you?
Please let me know through your comments!

There are a few black spots in the lower most drawer from my inky hands. I painted over it again to give it a neater look by the end. |

I started off with Mod Podging some Tim Holtz paper. It gives the chest amazing dimensions. I absolutely love the paper!
distressed the paper before mod podge. |
For the middle drawers that have diagonal papers, I took out some wooden alphabets I had. I haven't used them in a long time now so thought of an alternate idea :-) Thank to Amna's post. It gave me a guilt attack! :D
Using Distress Spray Stain in Tea Dye and Mica Powder in Rust and Gold. |
Dying the alphas and then using heat tool to dry them. Spraying some mica (mixed in water) to add a little shimmer. |
After I arranged and glued the alphas on the drawer, this is how it looked like. |
