  Step 1

  Start by stripping the paint off of all the drawers of their previous color / varnish.

• 

  Step 2

  Next give them a light sanding. I was originally going to make sure to get all the paint off but decided that I kind of like the scrappy paint chips so I left them. Really it's up to you and how you want your end design to look.

• 

  Step 3

  Stain the face of your drawers with a dark color stain by dipping your cotton rag into the stain and going with the grain wipe it on. Allow the stain to sit for a few minutes before wiping off the excess with a clean cotton rag.

  I used 'walnut' colored wood stain by Min-Wax.

• 

  Step 4

  Once your stain is set and dry stencil your letters and numbers on each drawer using a sponge brush and your black craft paint.

• 

  Step 5

  Finish it off by painting the bulk of your piece in a soft neutral gray or tan. I used sandstone gray by Better Home and Gardens and made it into Chalk paint. You can do it with any latex paint by using the following ratio:

  3 parts paint + 1 part plaster (& water)

  Mix your plaster with water until yogurt consistency and smooth before mixing it immediately with the latex paint. Stir until smooth and paint.

  Step 6

  Once dry piece your furniture back together and your done!
