Captain…nautical dresser?

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!
