I finished this project yesterday using Annie Sloan's chalk paint in Graphite. I did one coat of paint, Silver Rub n' Buff on the hardware and edges, and one coat of wax. Easy as can be! Here is the before photo:
And another after photo -- I'm thrilled with it! I wish I could show you more of the bedroom where it lives, but it's mid-renovation right now.

Beautiful! Love the Graphite on that piece. So chic!
So pretty. I love that graphite colour and would love to get my hands on some chalk paint. Nice job.
Nice job on that piece. Did you love the paint, color, ease of use etc...? I really love to hear others opinions on this paint. So many people either love it, or even some hate it. Thanks for sharing with my newbie party.
Hi Stacy, I love the new look and especially love that you used one of my favorite paints, Rub 'n Buff. Looks terrific! Come visit my blog, please.

Stacy, this looks terrific! I'm eager to try these paints. ~ Sarah
This looks divine -- please tell me how to get this paint!
Hi, you can get the paint through a few US vendors, although I know they are expanding rapidly. Go to www.anniesloan.com and click the link "How to order" to find the stockist in your state. Good luck! Let me know if you have trouble and I can send you more info....Stacy
That turned out beautiful. What a great color you chose.
That turned out beautiful!

That looks amazing! I love the matte finish the chalkboard paint gave it...wish I could see better how the wax affected it - I'd love to try out that technique sometime soon. Beautiful job!

Oh, I love it. I may have to try the graphite!
I just tried the chalk paint in Old White. I'm trying to decide if I like it or not. I'm so glad to see your Graphite paint, because I was thinking of using it on a Goodwill table for my son's new house.
Your dresser looks great! Love it!
wow, that rub n buff does good work! i love this "new" dresser!
I use rub n buff all the time. I have not tried the Annie Sloan's chalk paint as of yet. Your dresser looks as good as new now.

I really like that graphite color of the chalk paint I have a big 'ole unit to try to do but I'm so intimidated because it is so large.

Beautiful job, very polished look. Is the graphite a true black or an off black color? I'd love to see the color in person!

I have seen a lot of furniture re-finishes with AS chalk paint, but this is the first one I've seen using graphite... LOVE it! Using the silver rub n' buff on the hardware and edges was a really nice choice... well done.
This looks beautiful!! Great job! Thank you so much for linking this up with {nifty thrifty sunday} last week!
I hope to see you again tomorrow!

This is a stunner for sure. It looks like an incredibly expensive piece of furniture from some European boutique type store. Nicely done!.
I really like the silver? white? edging around the drawers and such.
Thanks for linking this up to Motivated Monday at BeColorful.
I will be featuring it on tonight's post.

That is a gorgeous transformation Stacy and it can come visit my house anytime! :-) Thanks so much for linking up to Inspiration Friday!

love this one, too! love the touch of the rub n buff!
Bravo! I had only seen examples of the chalk paint in creamy white or green tones, which created a shabby chic look. I am not a shabby chic person and your piece looks nothing shabby either. I have the perfect night stand to try this out on! Thank you!

what a difference! It looks FANTASTIC. I love the silver trimming as well. Great idea........so Please log on our website for Jaipur Property
I knew I liked you! I had the same general idea for my little dresser redo and just picked up the paint today. Great minds think alike (wink, wink)!
Great!
OK...now I am convinced. Will definitely be painting my first bedroom set (40 years old) that now occupies one of the guest rooms. Looks great!!
Just found your piece on Pinterest, done in Graphite! Fabulous!
Did you use clear wax and then dark wax or just clear wax? It looks beautiful!!
