The Simply White Farmhouse Dresser is done! This piece was found at a thrift store. It was in good shape but had the typical dings and nicks and really needed a makeover. After applying and sanding wood filler in places (such as the large holes on the top), I applied three coats of Annie Sloan Old White paint. It took three coats to cover really well. It was then sanded all over in 150 grit sandpaper to create a super smooth finish. It was distressed in places and I then applied Annie Sloan clear wax to seal. I also added fun green ceramic drawer pulls.

And after! What a difference – the Simply White Farmhouse Dresser!
Oh, what white paint can do!

Love it. Have one nearly like it that I use as a night stand. It’s painted a soft green and I love the storage it provides. Sure could use those pulls! Where did you get them?!
Suzanne
Hi Linda, I got these at HomeGoods – look at World Market also for fun ceramic pulls. Thanks!

I love this look and those knobs…prefect! I think most pieces almost tell you how they should be painted don’t you!?
Suzanne
They absolutely tell me at first glance! Thanks, Annie!
