Perfection: Graphite & Gold

I am all about Annie Sloan Graphite Chalk Paint and gold spray paint! The combination makes for the prettiest dressers!

I bought this trashy dresser at an estate sale for $10 and knew exactly what I was going to do with it when I got it home! Of course my husband just rolled his eyes and said “that thing is junk!”

When we got home, my husband did some repairs on the bottoms of the drawers.

While he worked on the bottoms of the drawers, I pulled off all the hardware and spray painted it gold. I took the handles apart so I could get the entire piece. I also took off all the gold pieces on the corners and center to give them a fresh coat as well. I gave them two coats. They looked gorgeous!

Side note — little tables like this (where the handles were painted) make for great spray painting areas! They have plenty of ventilation and when I am finished, I spray paint them back to white!

I used two coats of Annie Sloan Graphite chalk paint on the dresser. I also clear waxed it. This didn’t need or want to be distressed — it looks too good just like this!
