Green Chalk Painted Dresser

I had this dresser in my bedroom that I inherited from my grandmother. I painted it years ago and haven’t touched it since. I haven’t been in love with how it looked and could never find the perfect spot for it in this room. So I busted out the paint brush and decided to see if we could make it work!

Here’s a quick before shot of it once I moved it into it’s new spot. The color still wasn’t working for me!

I gave it one quick coat of Country Chic Paint in Hollow Hill. This has been my favorite green color and I knew it’d be perfect for a spring/summer color.

You can see it needed on more coat, so I let it dry for a few hours and applied a second coat of Hollow Hill.

Once I had painted two full coats of green on the dresser, I decided to add some dark wax to antique the piece just a little!

I used my Country Chic wax brush and lightly dipped in the dark wax. I apply it heavily in some spots and then wipe the extra left on the brush in the spots I don’t want so much antiquing in. It looks scary at first, but once buffed in, everything blends together!

And the after!

I decorated this area for spring by adding some vintage floral prints I found at a shop in town, and this adorable flower market sign from The Reclaimed farmhouse.
