Night stand refinishing with Annie Sloan Paint

A few weeks ago I came across an amazing chalkboard like paint from Annie Sloan, it is an all around paint and super universal. Take a look at the video, it will explain everything!

After I’d found a supplier in my area I went and got me the color Graphite Chalk Paint®, which soon became one of my favorites. Here are the other colors really like:

Graphite Chalk Paint® Emperor’s Silk Chalk Paint® English Yellow Chalk Paint® Barcelona Orange Chalk Paint®

Arles Chalk Paint® Florence Chalk Paint® Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint® Scandanavian Pink Chalk Paint®

Versailles Chalk Paint® Pure White Chalk Paint®

It was so simple to transform this night stand, that I couldn’t believe it…

First I sanded the entire night stand a little, just to even out some of the scratches it had on top, and to make the paint last even longer.
Wiped the entire night stand off with a damp cloth and let it dry for a few minues
I applied a thin coat of the Graphite Chalk Paint® with an Annie Sloan Paint Brush – Small
This paint dries so quickly, you can apply another thin layer of paint after just 1o minutes of applying the first coat.
After I had applied both paint coats, I let it dry for 1 hour and went to wash out my paintbrush.
1 hour later, I applied the Annie Sloan Soft Wax – Clear with a wax buffer that you can find in any local home improvement store
I left the night stand soak in the wax and after about 3-4 hours I gave it a last polish with a new wax buffer, this will bring out a little bit of shine to your furniture piece.
