I had so much fun transforming this out-dated light yellow dresser into a shabby chic little pink piece of furniture for my pink loving three year old!
My friend Brittiany and I did it the same day as our Chalk Paint Wars: Which Chalk Paint is Best.
This is the recipe for unsanded Grout:
*Unsanded Grout Chalk Paint Recipe
1 cup paint
1 Tbl unsanded grout
add a Tbl water to the grout
mix
add to the paint
Add more water if paint is too thick one tablespoon at a time
* it wasn't until after I used this that I read the back label which clearly states that this
product can cause cancer. After reading this I don't recommend it when their are much safer methods to achieve similar results.

This is the only "before" picture I remembered to take. That is Britt's Head:)
I spray painted the hardware a metallic silver in high gloss. I ended up not liking it though because it didn't match the major distressing we did with sandpaper and steel wool. So I ended up sanding the hardware too in order to make it look aged.
My Pink Lover Approved!
Here is a better picture of some of the distressing.
And here we are... the final product! It was fun and went relatively fast.
I used to be afraid of painting because what if I {gasp} messed up. The truth is, sometimes you do, but it can always be fixed. So don't stress just do it. You are totally capable!
