Carey dry brushed the drawers a few years ago to give it a little lift, but it was time to do something new again.
I tried my had at it . . .
The top was bumpy and had some water stains and after sanding a bit looked like this.
She also had a mirror from TJ Max that had served them well, hanging horizontally over their couch for several years. It was time to freshen up that look, as well. She was going for a more aged look and wanted to ditch the gold.
I used Annie Sloan Chalk paint on both pieces (Color: Graphite) followed by a little sanding of the edges and some of Annie Sloan's dark soft wax. Since this is in a home with 5 children, I also used 2 coats of Artisan Embelishments Clear Topcoat Sealer on the top of the dresser - it still amazes me that you can apply it right over the wax!
Tada!
