Painted buffet

Another painted piece of furniture. It is such fun doing this. I am hooked in a new sort of way. 

The physical exercise helps too as you have to concentrate on the project and can't think of other things too much. 

In the shop

Lots of cleaning and sanding and wood filler on doors.

Paint furniture for me

I have to get replacement furniture as some of the current items will be going to my ex-husband's house at the end of April. I don't want to be left with nothing shirt and decided to start looking for replacement items. 

I found this chest of drawers in excellent condition but as a very good price. I bought it as it will now be my filing cabinet. 

The outside is painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, Olive and inside of drawers painted in Emperor's Red. It is waxed first after painting and then distressed with brown wax over the white buffed wax.
