I started working on this buffet a few weeks ago. It took longer than I expected but it was worth the time put in.
Let's see how it came out:
This is the buffet I transformed with Annie Sloan Oxford Navy Chalk Paint.
I repaired missing trim pieces using Amazing Mold Putty and Casting Resin.
I sanded the resin pieces then cleaned the piece getting it ready for painting.
I was itching to try Annie Sloan Oxford Navy chalk paint and thought this would be the perfect project. It took three coats. When it was dry, I sealed it with Annie Sloan Clear Wax.
We had sanded the top before putting it in storage, so the only thing I needed to do was stain it with Waverly Antiquing Wax. It's such a rich color.
To get a surprise when you opened the drawer, I added "Decoupage Queen" damask rice paper to the sides. The color of the wood inside the drawers did not match the top of the buffet. To remedy that, I refreshed it with Annie Sloan Honfleur chalk paint and sealed it with polyacrylic to give it a more durable finish.
Finished piece I loved it so much I decided to keep it.
