Abbey from Painted Home Goods created another absolute knockout with our limited edition color, Wishing Well and Hemp Oil!
I had every intention to not take on any more projects so close to my due date but then I saw this dresser at Goodwill. I actually left it behind once but had to go back for a second look. Since it was in better shape than I remembered (and 50% off) I took it home.
The drawer bottoms just needed a little added support since the original nails had become dislodged, and the terrible replacement handles had to go. I wanted to give the classic vintage dresser a more modern look so I chose Country Chic Paint’s new Limited Edition Fall/Winter color “Wishing Well” which is a gorgeous blue-teal tone. I only gave it one coat and distressed to let some of the original oak come through. I sealed with Hemp Oil which darkened the color just a touch and gave a polished sheen. The top was rubbed down with Howard’s Restore-a-Finish (an essential product for any furniture refinisher) to buff out a few scratches and water marks.
With new black and white knobs this piece could not be prettier. I’m in love.

Is the paint you used water-based or chalk? Did you apply the hemp oil right over the paint? If so, does it eventually dry/harden?

Is the paint you used water-based or chalk? Did you apply the hemp oil right over it, and if so, how long until it dries and does it harden?
Did you sand the top off before you used the Howard's?
