Coastal Inspired Dresser Gets The Works!

My "Beach" clients purchased this old dresser at a garage sale for just $20. They love everything coastal inspired so out came the chalk paint and power sander for spectacular results! It now sits in their guest room!

Dark waxes for chalk paint

Does anyone know where you can purchase dark wax to use with chalk paint? I am on a budget and I need a wax that is not over the moon expensive, but will still perform very well. Thank you

    You can also try Fiddes Supreme wax in Jacobean. Its just like Annie Sloans dark wax - they ...»
    have other colors as well, but I am in love with Jacobean. And its smooth like butter and easy to work with. It runs about $19 per 500ml can. I order mine here, but there are many other retailers. http://bluemineralschalkpaint.com/product/fi... I don't have a local retailer near me, but you might have one close by to you that you can order it from!

  • These are my cabinets before glazing.
  • Here are my cabinets after glazing.
  • Glazing is a great simple way to update your cabinets

How to Glaze Cabinets

I wanted to update my cabinets a little. So I decided to glaze them. It was so easy. I used a dark gel stain and just wiped it on. Making sure to get in all the grooves. Then I waited a bit and wiped it off.

  • It was aqua before, without glass in the front and hung on a wall.
I went with a muted red and sage drawers.

Before and After Curio Case Gone Unisex

I didn't quite know where this thing was going. The knobs could not be removed and the grill was not coming out!! Plan B: I decided to remove the wall hanging hardware, add some glass to the drawers where they could actually hold something and be seen, then went with colors and style that either sex could use. It is suitable for the kitchen, bedroom or bath now..and I kinda love it now. Everything has something it wants to become..Come visit me on Facebook..let's share some ideas!! xoxo
