Well, that's how Mr. RLC felt virtually this piece, he was really proud to convey this dresser to our almost empty novel habitation xx years ago, together with he yet likes it, but he was opened upward to give it a needed update.

Besides taking off the mirror, nil was done to it during all those years. It is yet a strong, audio slice that I similar to give-up the ghost along inward my bedroom.

Annie Sloan clear wax
Sand paper

With record I covered the transcend of the dresser from beingness painted.

I pick out tried ASCP together with couldn't goal comparison my DIY version to hers. Well, I'm non disappointed ;) Here is amongst solely i coat.

Two coats together with it was done.

H5N1 280-grid sand newspaper was used to give it a calorie-free distressed look. I used nighttime wax on all the crevices (it's hardly noticeable), but together with thence clear wax was used all roughly the painted areas.

I did the same to the handles.

Since I didn't pigment the transcend of the dresser or the drawers, this was a really quick update. For directly I'm happy amongst how it looks, but who knows, peradventure afterwards on I mightiness pigment the whole thing.
