A few weeks ago our customer Peggy stopped by to discuss a console table that she wanted to have painted. She loved a table that Ethan Allen offered but it was crazy expensive. So she searched the internet and found the exact same Ethan Allen console table on eBay at a much lower price. The only problem - it was in a natural wood finish and not the distressed white finish that she loved. Replicating another finish is actually very difficult but it was a fun challenge for us and Peggy was enormously pleased with the result and sent us these pics from the table in it's new place in her home. Enjoy! (we've also included a photo of the original Ethan Allen piece)

These before and afters are Beautiful.... I want make over 2 dressers and my kitchen cabinets, but would you be able to tell me if I need to sand them down or will the chalk paint work over already painted cabinets and wood dressers (i don't know what kind of wood they are)

No, you don’t need to sand. The only prep with Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan is to make sure the surface is clean. For most things, like the dressers, just wipe them with a damp cloth. For the cabinets, give them a good cleaning with a degreasers like Krud Kutter, rinse with clean water, and you’re good to go! Let me know if you have any other questions.
