When this desk came into my life, I knew it was the perfect candidate for a smooth paint finish, so I decided to step out of my box and try it out.

It's been a while since I shared a client piece on here, but I had to share the latest client piece I finished. This thing is massive and was in such rough shape when I got it.

This table is one of the most dramatic makeovers I've done in a while, and it was my first time working with the much raved about General Finishes Java Gel Stain.

In the past, I have shied away from using Graphite. It is the darkest color in the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint pallet, and I had heard it can be tricky.

The second part of my Goodwill dresser video tutorial is here. Last time, I covered painting the piece and hardware. Today, I will show you how to distress and clear wax the piece using sandpaper and Annie Sloan Clear Wax.
