We picked up these nightstands at an estate sale and they were the perfect project for a makeover using Annie Sloan’s chalk paint.
They started out in pretty rough shape:
Lots of scratches, places where the varnish had been removed, I even found melted wax that had dripped all over one of them:
I gave them a quick sanding and then grabbed my new Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old White:
I have been looking forward to using this paint for some time now! As I mentioned in this post, the paint dries very quickly and it is a breeze to distress. I gave this pair of nightstands two coats of paint.
After painting, I waxed the nightstands using Fiddes brand light wax:
Then I sanded the edges for a distressed look:
And replaced the hardware with bronze cup pulls which I just love:
I love how they turned out:
The finished project:
We put these on Craigslist, and they sold within 3 days. Woo hoo! And I’m already working on more makeovers.
Thanks for visiting.
More projects coming up soon!
