Very, Very Versailles

How about this wonderful Versailles chalk paint make over?!  …with a little old ochre peeking through.

While junking one Saturday I found this wonderful dresser.  It had some stains on the top, but otherwise in really good condition.  I knew it would be perfect for another chalk paint make over. 
Here’s the before…

And after the chalk paint take over…
I painted old ochre around the edges and other places I was planning to sand so it would peek through, then painted the entire dresser in Versailles followed by a clear wax.

I love how the chalk paint gives you lots of texture…

I didn’t realize it would “blend” so well with the wall color…which was a very similar green!

And this last picture gives you a glimpse of my next project…a mahogany china cabinet redo!
