A coat of paint goes a long way.

We are fortunate enough to come across some furniture that my Mammy was looking to get rid of- it belonged to my grandfather's grandmother. Yes! This beautiful furniture is at least 100 years old. Kreg tells me all the time that I am overly sentimental, but just think about the stories this furniture could tell. We used Annie Sloan "old white" chalk paint and then sealed it with Annie Sloan wax. It was extremely easy and very user friendly. I would definitely recommend if you want to upcrate old furniture that may or may not be painted with lead based paint. Some new paint and knobs and this furniture is a wonderful new addition to our spare bedroom.
