Annie Sloan Chalk Paint: Florence

Meet Florence. 

My new favorite chalk paint color. 

I painted a large triple dresser (a free dresser) yesterday in Florence and gave it a heavy coat of dark wax. In person, the piece almost looks like aged copper. The pictures pick up more of a blue hue and less of the green. 

Here are a few before pictures:

I lucked out and was able to use the original hardware. It goes perfectly with the color. 

To distress this piece, I used a wet rag to rub off paint before applying the clear coat of wax. 

I am absolutely thrilled with how this beast of a dresser turned out!

Now to sell or keep??

This may be a keeper.
