I love chalk paint and I am officially obsessed! There I said it, I have confessed my feelings publicly. I love how it can transform a piece of furniture that has seen better days into something trendy, and adorable again. I found this dresser on Craigslist, I loved its shape and the size. It was relatively in great condition but it had some scratches and needed some TLC. I mean part of the reason I love antiques is that they aren’t perfect, I feel like they all have a little story to tell.
I did a little sanding to smooth out some nicks and then two coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White. I then covered the dresser with clear wax only. I decided to leave the hardware untouched because I love the little details of the pulls.
I always distress my pieces even if it’s just a little, I think it adds depth and character.
Who doesn’t love a good before and after?! Here is a side by side shot.
Craigslist and chalk paint are the perfect combo. It turned out amazing:)
I couldn’t agree more! Thank you.
How simple and yet elegant! Great find and great job!
Thank you so much!
