Craigslist dresser

I found this dresser on Craigslist and it just happened to be in a neighborhood across the street from mine!  I used ASCP in graphite for the top and old white on the bottom.  The glass pulls I used on the middle drawers don't show up much but I like the look it gives with the rope pulls.  Here is the before pic. and more afters.


 I know I probably put to many photos on the wall and should have kept them just over the dresser, but I didn't figure that out until it was all done and I really don't want to re-do it all!

Goodwill dresser


This is a dresser I found at Goodwill.  I liked the size of it, but not the color.  I started by sanding down the drawers, then it sat like that for the next year.  I submitted a photo to Shauna at www.perfectlyimperfectblog.com and loved the last dresser she posted, but I could never get the look.  I bought the book Quick and Easy Paint Transformations by Annie Sloan for inspiration.  She had a dresser that I liked so I tried my best to copy it and I love the way it turned out!  This is the first piece of furniture that I used chalk paint on and I may never use anything else.  This is also my first blog post, so let me warn you I'm no professional when it comes to blogging or photography.  :)
