Dresser Makeover with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

I scored 2 identical dressers on Craigslist for $25 each!  I had to glue a couple of the drawer fronts, but otherwise they were in really good condition. I painted them with Annie Sloan's Chateau Grey, but as you can see, the color is more of a sage green. (I wish she would name her colors appropriately!). I then distressed them with my sander and glazed them with a walnut colored Minwax stain. I also spray painted the hardware with Rustoleum's Oil Rubbed Bronze. I am thrilled with the results!!

I will be posting again soon using these dressers in our Master Bedroom makeover :)!

  2. I just did a redo in ASCP too. I used the color graphite on a very beat up chest. I am redoing my son's room. Can you believe how much work it is to redo one little room? Good luck with yours.
