This is Captain…
He looked like this…
I wanted to give him a nautical dresser type of feel.
I gave his body two coats of cream chalk paint.
I sanded and polished his top.
I added numbers to his drawers.
Then I sanded.
I rubbed stain in in spots to “age” the paint.
Finally, I buffed him down with clear wax and made him simple twine handles.
I am soo pleased with Captain!
What do you have that you can “redo” with a coat of paint? Because you can!
If I can do this…you surely can! I am the Queen of mistakes!
And if you need help, want some tips, or just need encouragement…contact me!

Good job! I like the number font you used…it goes so well with his name. I love how you name your furniture
Have a good weekend,
Shasta
I knew this dresser before I even clicked the link! I love it!
Thanks for linking it up on the block party!
I know you’re all on vaca and everything, but I’m featuring Captain on the All Star Block Party this week.
