Chest / Dresser Painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Graphite, Clear Wax and Dark Wax.

Laundry is one of my favorite subjects. . . When it's done like this. We're lucky enough to have fresh air and sunshine and a clothesline.

This antique serpentine dresser was in pieces when it came to me. The bottom two drawers had fallen apart and the middle brace had come out. It was also covered in thick and peeling cherry stain and varnish. This is the top. I started by repairing the drawers and replacing the cross piece.
