Dresser with a brand new look

If you saw my last post, you know about my knob hiccups for this beautiful dresser I picked up for only $5.

You can see the mismatched knobs.  What isn't quite as noticeable in this photo is the crazy green paint.  It has a limish green base color with a darker green wash.  It was really odd.  That is probably why I got it for $5.  Other than the color and the knobs, it was a very sturdy, well built dresser.  Oh did I forget to say heavy too?! 

I knew this dresser was a great candidate to use my chalk paint.  When I was taking out the drawers, I felt like I was with my grandma.  All of the drawers had that smell that my grandma's make-up had.  It wasn't a bad smell at all.  In fact, it smelled tons better than most antique dresser.  Anyways, back to the transformation.  Because of the magical powers of chalk paint, I only applied one coat of Duck Egg Blue.  After a coat of wax and applying the new knobs, the dresser is transformed.  First a reminder of the knobs.

Now the whole dresser!

So much better don't you think?  I'm sharing over at:
