Taming "The Monster"

For about 25 year now we have been sharing our bedroom with "The Monster". It came with my husband and I hated it from the start.

My sister is busy settling into a new home and with it, inherited a few "monsters" of her own.  A friend introduced her to Annie Sloan Chalk Paint http://www.anniesloan.com and she transformed some of the monsters that was destined for the dump, into beautiful well loved pieces.

AFTER - with some distressing done and new hardware





After a visit with my sister, I was inspired to, for once and for all, try and tame "The Monster".
Through the years I often went looking for a new dresser, but could never find exactly what I needed. 

I like the size and the ample storage space, as well as the large mirror, but that's about all.  The rest I absolutely hate.  So, off to the store to buy a tin of Old White Annie Sloan Chalk paint and clear wax .  Feeling very nervous, I started on the transformation.  Messaging my sister for advice and support all he way! 




And "The Monster" is no more!



 

 



The stool also got a makeover!

 



New hardware added.

I am so pleased with the result.  What a tranformation.  My husband does not handle change very well, so no distressing yet.  But I might still do it later.  Baby Steps! He likes the new look though!!
