from BEAST to BEAUTY. Custom Sea Glass colored antique dresser redo

Head on over and check out how I took this Beast of a dresser and made it BEAUTIFUL again. It took a ton of work including stripping veneer and buying a belt sander, but I think it was worth the work. What do you think?

I have a super sunny porch so real plants are out of the question...but that might work for you. Wouldn't it be pretty filled with succulents? Find a complete tutorial on my blog.

  • Before shot of our kitchen. It is on the small side and was very dark. 1
  • We tore out our existing backsplash and created a custom hood above the cooktop. I opted to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to help me achieve the french country feel I was looking for. Working on finishing up the rest of the cabinet doors 4
  • Old Ochre paint and new knobs. 3
  • I use a moist sanding block to sand with. It keeps the dust at bay and makes a buttery smooth finish.
  • Dark wax applied to help age the cabinets.
  • It is a long process to achieve this look but to us well worth it. 1
  • I stil am working on finishing up the remainder of the cabinets but am just thrilled with how far our kitchen has come from where we first started. 1

First attempt at using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint: Small accent table

I was very interested in trying my luck with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint as I love painted furniture but hate all the prep work. It was as easy and fun to use as everyone is saying. No sanding, easy to paint with and I love the result.
