For this project I went with my trusted Dollar Tree drop cloths. You can use painters tape to secure the edges if you wish. Set out your drop cloths to cover the floor of your work area. And lastly, you don’t have to worry about having enough natural sunlight if you will be working at night. You can leave your project out if you will be working on it over a period of time. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is low odor so you don’t have to worry about the fumes. There is no dust or debris that may end up stuck in your paint (been there, done that). I prefer to work with chalk paint indoors for a few reasons. All paint works best at room temperature and will not do well in extreme temperatures or humidity. Keep in mind the temperature of your workspace. Other – drop cloth, painters tape, paint stirrer, screw driver, wood filler and spackling knife.Wax brush or clean lint-free cloths (microfiber or cheesecloth seem to work best in my opinion even the t-shirt rag material you can buy in the paint section that claim to be “lint free” seem to leave lint behind).Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax – I used the clear.Annie Sloan Chalk Paint – I used the color Old White.If you are in the North Atlanta area I highly recommend BrushStrokes by Mary Anne.

This is in no way endorsed or supported by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Today I’m sharing a step-by-step tutorial on the technique I used to achieve this look. I had obviously heard the DIY world rave about it, but it wasn’t until we were expecting our first baby that I had a good excuse to give it a try! I’ve tried many different brands of chalk paint but this was my first time using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

I’ve tried it all when it comes to painting and refinishing furniture and Lord only knows I’ve learned a lot through trial and error. I love the open shelving and I can’t believe just how much a few easy tweaks completely transformed the overall look and functionality of the piece. We removed the decorative top piece, took out the top drawers, added beadboard backing and installed two open shelves. You will notice that in addition to paint, the tall chest got repurposed to make it a little more practical for the space. Here is a good look at the before and after. I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. It was sturdy and had good lines, but the color, shiny finish and outdated hardware was screaming “make me beautiful again!” And I think we succeeded.
The furniture was hand-me-down 1990’s bedroom furniture that my parents were getting rid of.
