Simply White Farmhouse Dresser, Before and After

11 January, 2017 by Suzanne

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.

    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?!
