This was a end table or nightstands set I had for awhile.
It had a piece of wood chipped off as shown in picture.
We repaired it and put it up for sale as is....
but I pulled it off and painted it.
Here they are before. UGLY!
Do not like those 4 set handles either.
It is dovetailed drawers and solid wood at that :)
Made by Lane...
I decided to paint it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...
I used Old Ochre.
I get some customers who ask if
I do chalk paint. So I did this one to show my work in chalk paint.
I primed all of it except the tops...
Then I hand painted it all....
distressed the parts that would naturally age threw time..
darkened the creases on legs and drawers to give a aged look...
Stained the tops and added polycrylic to protect it...
.
I waxed everything else...
Chalk paint is super thick!
I don't like that. So I did my flat finish.
I sealed up all those hole in the drawers,
I didn't like those four handles on each drawer...
Then I added 2 french handles on each drawer.
I did a aged look on the handles...
LOVE My handles I did!!!
Here they are completed!
Way better than before!
