The Big Reveal!

Alright, my first piece of furniture painted with 

Annie Sloan paint & wax is finished!

I got this medicine cabinet when I was visiting a friend's cottage up 

in Muskoka at a little antique store in town. I added a little piece of trim to the top

 and put new closure hardware on the door. I painted it

with Annie Sloan's Old White Chalk paint and did a coat of clear wax,

followed by a coat of dark wax. Finally another clear coat of wax to seal it.

After

New closure hardware

New trim along the top.

Close up of the finish on the side.

I was really panicking when I first applied the dark wax. it was really

coming out dark. So I mixed some clear wax and tried to buff some of it off and then 

I sanded it. It really textured the finish. I like the way it turned out.

Here it is in it's new home.

The Japanese dog bank belonged to my Dad when he was a boy.

The vintage metal powder tins & medicine bottles came from My Grandfather's Drug store.

On to the next piece, a chest of drawers...   : )
