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 It was in very good condition, a little outdated though and had lots of problems on the top!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!

If you've ever wondered how to paint your old wooden furniture, well then today's post is for you! Welcome to my beginner's guide to painting furniture. I'm a huge fan of doing big things on a small budget. I think you can create something awesome and not have to spend a fortune to do so. It just requires creativity and the willingness to get your hands dirty. Painting old thrift store furniture is one of the ways I do that. Here's my favorite find ever, my bedroom dresser. I scored it secondhand for only $50, and completely transformed it with some homemade chalk paint. See chalk paint recipe here....scroll down to tip #6. I absolutely love the way it turned out. This dresser was a total score, and I knew immediately that I could turn it into a piece I would love for a long time. Here is how it originally looked the day I brought it home. This thing was a total ugly duckling at first. And this 'before' pic does it way more justice than it deserves. It was a dirty, smoky, beaten up, rickety old dresser. It took a lot of work to transform this dresser into such a babe, but it was well worth it! Here's how I did it: #1. I took out the drawers and removed the handles. #2. Sanded the whole thing down with my trusty sander. #3. Coated the whole thing with Zinsser Primer. (See why you should prime first here.) #4. Painted the drawers & frame with 2 coats of Behr Premium 'Creamy White' that I converted into chalk paint. If you use chalk paint, you can actually skip the sanding and priming part, but I wanted this dresser to be really durable so I did it anyways. #5. Once the paint was thoroughly dry, I put the drawers back in and screwed in the hardware. Then I finished the whole thing with Minwax Finishing Wax (Amazon Affiliate link). All you do is rub some of it on the furniture with a rag and then buff it out. It buffs out to a beautiful finish, and makes painted furniture look fabulous. I usually change out the hardware when I redo furniture, but the hardware on this piece was pretty, so I just left it alone. My favorite tip is to paint the insides of your drawers. It looks beautiful and it gets rid of any smells or stains. I'm totally hooked on painting the insides of drawers now. Best upgrade to an old dresser ever! You can see more about how to do that here. I love the way the dresser turned out, and love the way it looks in the master bedroom.

If I had to guess, I’d say that 80-90% of the pieces we work on are project pieces in the truest sense – as in, side of the road, falling apart, complete overhaul kinds of pieces. As satisfying as it is to transform them, it’s always a nice surprise to find something that is in
