Chalkboard Dresser

Hard to believe that 2013 is almost over!

And what a great year it was!

It has been a little over a year since we started our Blog and Facebook pages.

And we have been in our booth/space @ Yarbro’s Antique Mall about 6 months now and have meet many wonderful new friends!

2014 is going to ROCK!

For our last post of the year we are sharing our chalkboard dresser.

We picked this guy up at Yarbro’s Antique Mall for a heck of a deal!

The downfall?

We had to replace all of the drawer guides.

And all of the drawers needed to be repaired!

Utilizing some extra wood and wood flooring we had on hand we fabricated some new pieces.

One drawer down and three more to go.

After we made all of the repairs we painted the drawer fronts with chalk paint.

And stained the dresser with a  colored wood stain (Cabot’s Shale) that we snagged at Dirt Cheap for .19 cents a can! WHAT???? Holla!

We decided to leave the trim/molding natural.
