Rustic Dresser Redo

This poor little dresser had been through the ringer. It had been painted before and stripped down and not properly treated afterwards. The wood was so dry, but overall the dresser still had life left in it.
I love extra rustic furniture as much as I love sophisticated antiques.
I guess I didn't take during the process photos on this one, but it was pretty straight forward. I cleaned up the wood and put a chestnut color stain on it. I used Old White Annie Sloan chalk paint, and clear wax.
I used a Martha Stewart silk screen stencils that I bought at Hobby Lobby. I think you can buy them at Michaels and JoAnn fabrics too.
I wanted to keep this dresser so bad, but my house was already so full of furniture.
I was in the process of unloading it from my car to bring it into the store I sell at and a lady bought it right on the spot. I want to find a piece like this one and do this again.
