I bought this dresser at a garage sale. The dresser is painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Provence. The top was stripped and stained with Minwax Dark Walnut.
I used AS Soft Wax and then distressed the dresser.
The polyurethane on the before was very thick and gloppy.
I thought about sanding the dresser before I painted it, but decided to go with the rougher rustic look.

Love the color and little glass knobs! Beautiful refinishing job.
Loving the end result it looks so pretty. Thanks for sharing with my newbie party.
another fabulous piece, katie! love the color and i love the sweet shape of that piece! the provence i used didn't come out as pretty as that- mine had a lot more green to it. i think it always comes out differently!
Great color and nice update!

What a lovely color! I don't think I've seen many projects in this color before.
Totally love this color...and I really think the stained top turned out to be the perfect thing. Can't believe your list of linky parties. You go girl!
That color is so happy! Great work! Visiting from Restore Interiors

Incredibly well done. I love the wood and blue tones together.

I absolutely love this!! I've been looking around blogland at painted pieces for 2 weeks trying to find inspiration for a highboy dresser I inherited from my grandmother. This dresser is EXACTLY the color that I think would look perfect on it!! It looks so beautiful and unique!

Great job! Looks awesome :>)
such a pretty color! it has such great lines to it and I love the glass knobs. Beautiful! visiting from Show and Tell Friday~
Beautiful choices in color and finish, I have been trying to decide what annie sloan color out of aubusson, duck egg or provence to use on old shutters to flank my windows in my living area, I have not seen alot of projects in this color but with you pictures I can see this is the perfect color to use! Love that you left the top rustic
Fabulous job! I love the color you chose and the way you kept the top natural. Chalk paint has been on my "to-do" list for ages. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

What wonderful project!
Have a happy weekend!
I love that you left the top natural. It makes it look so warm. It's so much prettier than the original. Great vision!
I like the color choices you made for this piece. It looks FABULOUS!
LOVE, LOVE LOVE the color you chose!! :-)
Love the color!
