I must apologize as I do not have a before picture. This is a tea caddy that we used in our summer residence for as long as I can remember. The top was needing a refinish badly! I ended up painting the top as my dad last year stripped it and stained the top and it didn't take. I didn't want to strip it again and re-stain only to have the same problem. So I painted it with ASCP Old white. I then used the pearl plaster finish by Artisan Enhancements and topped it off with clear wax. I also tidied up the legs using Restor-A-Finish in Dark walnut. I love this product as it vanishes any scuffs or scratches. Here is the final product!

Antique Medicine Cabinet Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Makeover
Happy Spring everyone!
I know it doesn't quite feel like spring around here. We have been below zero all week here and I'm hoping it's going to get warmer next week. I really want the snow to melt and to be able to see some green grass! This winter I thought I would refinish this old medicine cabinet with some Annie Sloan Chalk paint. I love how cute it is and the details it had. This is it before:
The inside didn't have the original paint stripped off it. I scrapped and sanded so the new paint would have a smooth surface. I even had to fill two holes which likely were where the cabinet had been screwed to the wall.
The top needed to be glued and clamped as it was separating a little.
Here is the after in Old White ASCP.

The inside of the cabinet and drawer I painted Provence ASCP with an accent of grey chalkboard paint. I finished it off with clear wax. I love it and think it's the cutest medicine cabinet!
