I have had this antique Eastlake dresser for a number of years and a number of moves. Unfortunately it has not done well in the last move. The wheels underneath were damaged and the over-all structural strength of the dresser seemed to be less and less. Afraid to use it until it was repaired, it has been in my garage for a little while awaiting my inspired efforts to return it to some of its former glory.
Using my favorite site for inspiration, Pinterest, I saw lots and lots of projects using "chalk" paint. Now don't misunderstand, this is not chalkboard paint, but chalk paint. Chalk paint is a modified paint that dries to look similar to aged paint, sans the crackle that was so popular in the 1990's. After painting, you wax the piece to retain the beauty and protect the paint job.
