This Chest was found at our local thrift store. I admit I paid about twice what I would normally pay for a piece of furniture to paint but I really loved this piece. I thought about keeping it.
Its beautiful wood, its low to the ground, it would make a great place for a Flat Screen. The hardware is all there!
We thought the top was good enough to keep, so we sanded it down and put on just a clear sealer.
Then the rest was painted Annie Sloans Chalk Paint in Duck Egg then Louis Blue a little here a little there not real consistent as you can see.
Then came the sanding and distressing. After that we waxed it with clear then dark wax.
Hope you enjoy my project of the week.
