Dresser Re-do

I had been in need of a dresser for our guest room, but just wasn't interested in buying something new right now.  Instead I thought redoing something would be much more fun and budget friendly.  It just so happened that Tyler's parents had an old white dresser in their basement that no one was using and so they offered it to us. It was perfect for what I needed!

I had already painted our Master bedroom furniture, so I knew what I was getting in to.  But this time around, I had heard so many great things about this new type of paint by Annie Sloan. Its a chalk paint and it is acclaimed to be the easiest paint to use- EVER. So I had to try it!  And everyone was right. This paint involved zero prep work (the boring stuff!). You just painted it on and covered it with a wax. So simple! And I love the way the dresser turned out.  I found out the dresser was Tyler's dads when he was a kid.... after I painted it PINK...oops!  But you know me, I love a sentimental piece- even if it is revamped!

Here's the before....

And the in between....

Then I took it inside for the finishing touches! I finished it in our dining room.. since its empty for now :)

 I always love a project!
