Before+After: Tall Dresser

This tall dresser was given to me from my mother-in-law. It was in really great shape so there was almost no prep work!

I removed all the hardware from the dresser and patched those holes with wood filler. Once dry, I lightly sanded it.

I painted the entire dresser with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in “Pure White”. I used about 2 coats and lightly sanded in-between coats. Once all dry I decided to add some light distress to the edges. I normally prefer a cleaner look but I do like how it turned out.

For all the drawers I didn’t want to line them so I decided to paint them instead with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in “Duck Egg Blue”.

The original hardware had to be replaced since it was missing some parts. I tried really hard to find something similar in stores but had no luck. I really did like them but now I have some for my next project. So I found some clearance knobs from Target. They were already in bronze so I didn‘t have to paint them!
