~ Stylish Dresser Makeover with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® ~

This beautiful Michael Amini dresser was restyled by my Lady Butterbug customer LORI SHARP

using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Lori shares with me why she decided to paint this wonderful piece.

"The bedroom furniture was bought about 6 years ago and the maker is Michael Amini ~

original furniture designs.

It has natural marble insets in the piece so Annie's Graphite was a perfect color choice.

I bought a condo in Florida and thought the pieces would be to heavy in the color I bought them

so I decided to take your class and see if I could do the

technique and keep my bedroom furniture since I loved it so much!

Now it will be beautiful sitting on beach wood floors!"

Here are the steps LORI followed:

1.) applied color Graphite - Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® - let paint dry

2.) applied a wash of color Coco - Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® - rubbing some paint off with a damp lint free cloth

3.) applied a wash of color Old White - Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® - rubbing some paint off with a damp lint free cloth

4.) applied Annie's Soft Clear Wax using a Premium Wax Brush

5.) while Clear Wax is still wet apply small amounts of Annie's Soft Dark Wax using a Premium Wax Brush

6.) allow the waxes to dry overnight and buff with a lint free cloth to create a lustrous look

7.) apply small amount of metallic Gilding Wax if desired

I wish to thank Lori for sharing her wonderful project pictures and

steps she used!
