Annie Sloan Weekend Project Before and After








This was the "BEFORE" dresser.
It was in very good condition, a little outdated though and had lots of problems on the top!


As you can see below!  I think finger nail polish remover was the cause of the large spots on top!  I stripped the top and sanded it down.  Then, I painted the top with a nice coffee color stain and finished off with a coat of poly.



What a difference on the top!


I applied 2 coats of Annie Sloan Old White Chalk Paint.

Sanded edges to distress a bit.

Gave it a clear coat of Annie Sloan Clear Wax.

Then heavily distressed with Annie Sloan Dark Wax.

I repainted all of the hardware and VOILA.

I think it turned out pretty good!





Another Chalk Paint Project Coming Soon!
