I have to admit this is not my favorite DIY piece- like the one I did HERE. But there are sometimes you just have to go with it and know you tried your best. And lets just be honest-its a whole-heck-of-a lot better than what I started out with.
The treatment was the same as the other dresser. Citristrip and more Citristrip, then sanding, then whitewash with Chalk Paint, then driftwood gray deck & patio stain- finished off with a slather of MinWax clear paste.
