Today I will be stepping out of my box and learning something new. Painting with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I am going to a free workshop at The Red Door Antiques & More I am soooo excited!!! I already started working on my old bedroom furniture which will be the new guest bedroom furniture. :)
I wanted to have a darker top, and tried using just the dark wax, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. Then I remembered I had left over Rustoleum Furniture Transformations from my daughters tables project here. That was the color I was looking for and since all I was doing is the tops I had plenty for this project.
So here I will share the before and then after the workshop today, I will come home with supplies and get started chalk painting and antiquing and will share when I am finished. Did I mention how excited I am!?!?

| I got this bedroom set at a consignment shop many many years ago. They looked a lot nicer back then. LOL! |

| You can see the wear and tear on the front night stand. The back one looked pretty much the same before I tried just the dark was alone. |
 |
| Yuck!! |
 |
| Just using the dark wax. Not the look I was going for, but if I was just cleaning it up I think it would work just fine. |

| I followed the directions, and skipped the glazing process which is optional before I put on the final protection coat. My daughters tables from last year still look great so I am very happy with this product. Kind of pricey but since I see I can use it on more projects worth it. |

| These are the pulls I got from Overstock.com Hint-buy when you get the email coupon for 10% off after you set up an account. I only paid $49.74 for 25 pulls. That was the cheapest I found. |
