So we thought we'd give it a whirl. Here are some of the "in the middle" pictures:
Here are the after pictures. I have to say, we really like how it looks. At first, Rebecca thought is was too distressed. And sometimes I think it looks like it got shipwrecked, but now Rebecca really likes it and I do too.


Here's a close-up of the grain of the wood showing through the distressing. That part was so pretty, we wanted it to show through. I also think the keyhole looks so much cooler now that it is refinished.

So, that was our experiment in chalk paint. We love the finished product. Is my Grandma shaking her head (or her fists) in Heaven? I don't know....hopefully not.

Thanks for looking!
Jared and Rebecca
I love it! I painted and distressed my hope chest last year.
