Goodwill Dresser Rescue
I found this gem at Goodwill for $24.99. I hesitated to buy it at first because it had a couple of chipped drawers. I almost walked away, but my gut told me that at this price, I had to give it a chance.
This thing was really banged up, too, with tons of dents and weird spills and stains.
This look was created using two coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White. I tried a new technique and distressed it before I used my Annie Sloan Clear Wax. I used 100 grit sand paper to distress followed by a coat of clear wax and finished it off with a mix of clear and dark wax. I wanted this really shabby because of all the nicks and dents it has, so I used dark wax on the entire piece versus just in the spots I distressed.
Check out my blog post for info on how I repaired the chipped drawers and refinished the hardware. This to date is still my favorite piece I have refinished! And I am so glad I took a chance on it. It is the perfect piece for our front foyer.
