10 heavily distressed chippy furniture pieces - So Much Better With Age

I have a confession. It’s not earth shattering by any means but here it goes…. I LOVE CHIPPY FURNITURE.

There I said it.

The thing that I love about heavily distressed / chippy furniture pieces is that you can put them in a room that is very simple and not at all shabby chic and they will really stand out. I think that is awesome!

Ready for some heavily distressed furniture pieces??

Here it goes…

I’ve been wanting to heavily distress this wooden cabinet for years after my toddler son keyed it (yes, he took my set of car keys and went crazy on it).

Not quite the distressed look I was going for.

Here is my inspiration piece. I’ve had this pinned from the moment that Kathy published this post. I mean seriously people.

You are either going to love it or hate it (just like her post says!) and I LOVE IT! Way to go, Kathy!

Home by Ally – Chippy Cabinet

This cabinet is pure perfection in my opinion and it just came this way naturally.

What do you say, Ally, can I have it? Shipping can’t be that much to Canada, right?

And here is one of my naturally chippy shelves I found in our old house.

I turned it into a coat rack for my daughter’s room just using a large cabinet handle.

And now here is the project that I’m working on.
