Creating a weathered chest of drawers adds depth and interest to what might otherwise be an unfashionable item designed for a "large basket". Converted dressers can go from the bedroom to the family room as a TV stand or to the dining room as a sideboard. The tarnished look suits many styles of decor, and a homeowner can create one-of-a-kind items that are painted and styled to match their home.



Basic weathered appearance

1

Put a napkin under the chest. Remove the drawers from the chest of drawers and remove the hardware from the drawers. Put the hardware aside.



2

Lightly sand the chest of drawers and drawer facades with 120 grit sandpaper.



3

Wipe the surfaces with an adhesive cloth.



4

Paint the product and the facades of the boxes with satin latex paint. Let the paint dry.



5

Sand the paint to expose the wood using steel wool or 120 grit sandpaper. Sand those areas of the product that naturally undergo the most wear, such as the edges, the front of the drawers where the rods are installed, and the top surface. Sand along the texture by moving the steel wool or sandpaper parallel to the texture rather than perpendicular to it.



6

Wipe the entire part and drawers with a cloth to remove dust.



7

Apply a finishing coat, such as clear varnish, to the product with a wide brush. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application. Apply the finishing coat with strokes that repeat the texture of the wood. For example, if you can see texture lines running from edge to edge at the top of the product, apply the finish coat parallel to the texture.



8

Allow the product to dry.



9

Replace the hardware on the drawers and install the drawers to complete the project.



Applying the second color

1

Put a napkin under the dresser. Remove the drawers from the product and remove all accessories from them. Put the hardware aside. Lightly sand the body and facades of the boxes. Remove any remaining dust with a sticky cloth.



2

Paint the body and facades of the boxes with latex paint. Let the paint dry.



3

Paint the part a second time with the top coat of paint. Let the paint dry.



4

Sand the surface layer to expose the base layer using steel wool or 120 grit sandpaper. Sand those areas of the product that are subject to the greatest wear, such as the leading edges, the top surface and the facades of the boxes.



5

Apply a finishing coat to the product. Use a wide brush and apply the finish coat in the same direction as the wood texture and according to the manufacturer's instructions. Allow the finish coat to dry.
