Chalk Paint is so easy to use! Anyone can do it! If have an old dresser that needs some updating, this post will inspire you to get started! I am a Craigslist Junkie! I find most of my pieces there or Goodwill. If using Craigslist, just be careful when going to view the piece. Make sure someone is with you. 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 It was in very good condition, a little outdated though and had lots of problems on the top!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! This piece sold to a lovely gal. Hope to see her back! I'm working on several more pieces and will post soon!

I love to make molds with hot glue as an easy and FAST way to embellish my DIY project. It is especially good if you're impatient like me or you don't want to accidentally smush your mold while it's drying!

These vintage cane back dining chairs came from a community yard sale. I was just heading back to my car, after an unsuccessful visit to the community sale, when I saw a woman carry one of these chairs out to her front yard. I stopped her immediately and purchased the four chairs for a very good deal! The chairs looked similar to the first set of cane chairs that I fixed up here. They were old and dirty with flaking paint covering up their beautiful bones. The gold velvet upholstery is indicative of the era from whence they came. I used a mixture of about 50/50 Paris Grey and Country Grey Chalk Paint to create a soft, pale grey hue for these chairs. I love the wooden details above the caning on these dining chairs. I dry brushed some Old White Chalk Paint over the appliques and along the edges of the chairs and then distressed them with 220 grit sandpaper. Fortunately, the cane backs were all in flawless condition. I reupholstered the seat cushions with a charcoal grey and white striped, hemp linen fabric.
