This veneer filing cabinet serves a great purpose, but the plain oak color didn’t match anything.

To add a little character I glued some wood carvings to the front and attached handles.

Since chalk paint sticks to veneers very well, I used Annie Sloan Pure White to paint the cabinet.

After some distressing, I used a clear wax mixed with a little ASCP Paris Grey, and sealed it!

This was one of my favorite simple transformations!
