Country style dresser

This is a country style dresser I built from one of ana's plans. I slightly modified the top and the dimensions to fit my needs. Painting this dresser was the biggest challenge. First I stained the entire dresser, then I applied 3 coats of ce ce caldwells chalk paint. I then used a wet rag to wipe away the yellow in areas I wanted distressed. Last I applied a paste wax to seal it.

Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
top: red oak stain and 2 coats of poly
bottom: ce ce caldwell's carolina sunshine chalk paint

The paint job is superb. It makes the dresser look like an antique. Love the hardware too. A real gem. Wow!
