CeCe Caldwell Destin Golf Green Chalk Paint Dresser Makeover
Today I finally have another dresser makeover for you.
I had this old handmade dresser that I have been wanting to paint and since I had the CeCe Caldwell’s Destin Golf Green left over, I thought I’d just use it again on this one.
But I didn’t want to do the same thing as last time again though. Nooooo! That would be too boring, right? I wanted to add a little twist to it.
This dresser is truly old and handcrafted. It had to be chalk paint again! I don’t know if you remember my post about the Pennsylvania Dutch Hex Signs (click HERE if you missed it or want to refresh your mind). Well I thought that this dresser would be perfect for a little hex magic!
So I bought some 3″ craft wood circles at AC Moore and made my own chalk paint with some oops paint from Lowes. I will post about my experimenting with chalk paint recipes on Friday, ok?

Anyway, then I drew up a design on the circles, painted them with my chalk paint and waxed them when they were dry. After that I only had to drill holes for the vintage glass knobs to fit through.
And here is my dresser afterwards. I think it’s so fun and I could also totally picture it in a kids room.
And yes my vintage paint by numbers made an appearance! I love how they look with their newly white painted frames.
I honestly would love to move stuff out of my kids rooms to move this dresser and the artwork in.
This is just one of those things again where some people just don’t get it. And maybe I will look at this post in a couple of years and say: “Ugh geesh, what was I thinking!!!” But for right now I think this is fun and I really love it!
Like I said I before, I will write about my chalk paint experiments on Friday. And I still have some on my list that I didn’t get to try yet. Stop back ok?

Oh Cassie, I’d so love to sell in your barn! And I don’t mind you stealing it at all 😉
So those are the painted wood circles? Really, they look awesome Julia and your paint by numbers are so sweet paired with the dresser!
Thanks Luci!
If someone would have told me that I’d buy paint-by-numbers at a thrift store one day, I’d have called that person completely cArAzAy!
Love it and those knobs are awesome! Great idea. Can’t wait to see the review on Friday.
Thanks Ashley!
hi Julia – I saw your comment on Cassie’s blog and thought i’d let you know that the link party on my blog is now open. I would love you to come link up. The colour you have chosen on your chest of drawers is gorgeous. so summery.

Ok, will do and thanks!
Thanks so much Julia! Looking at this again, I just love the colour!
Look at you gettin’ all country! I really like this, those medallions you painted are such a sweet, colorful touch!
LOL, thanks! Some things just have to be country, right? No changing that!
I love keyhole dressers! Great redo, Julia. The medallions were a fun idea–so colorful! I do have to say though, that I absolutely LOVE your paint by numbers! (You styled them just perfectly with the stag.)
Thanks and I love the paint by numbers too, which is odd LOL
Adorable!
Thanks Bethany!
Great job Julia!!! Looks awesome. I love all your furniture makeovers:)
Thank you! That’s what I love doing the most!
What a great idea, Julia! I think when I saw your after my jaw actually dropped and I may have said “awwwwww” out loud. It is so perfect and the circle medallions are the perfect touch. Smart thinking…it’s funny because it is more country than what I see as your style, but it total has that Julia touch! love it! 😉
Awwwww LOL thanks! It is totally more country than what I have in my house. I love being able to do different styles though. It’s fun!
I love it! And I look forward to reading your chalk paint adventures. I have tried and tried with homemade chalk paint and just don’t love the texture that it leaves. I thought I was the only one who couldn’t get it looking smooth, but I see now that yours has texture…and I love it. Maybe I just don’t like it on my own stuff….
Yes, it has texture and that’s what I loved so much about this paint!
Thanks Kristin, that’s what I thought…It’s so fun for a kid’s room!
What a great piece and the ART is tops! FUN, FUN, AND MORE FUN!
I can only imagine what you and Cassie could do IF you got together!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Patty!
I’d love to work with Cassie because she is awesome!
How fun and creative!! I just love it. I’m really into anything with a Spanish/Mexican vibe to it(which I feel this piece does) so its singing to me. I just love it and your vignette to showcase it is equally great!
How awesome are you!! I love it! Love the detail you added around the knobs. Such a creative touch.
I would love this dresser in my house too Julia! 🙂 It’s gorgeous! 🙂 loving the country style too! adding those 3′ wood circles and then adding your little touch of color and design makes it even better! 🙂
Please do post about your experiment with chalk paint! I can’t wait to read about it! 🙂
I love this!!!!! I just got myself an overhead projector and now I think I know what my first project is going to be! An awesome hex on a piece of furniture–or maybe on my shed! You are so clever!
Thanks so much Susan! Have fun hexing 😉
Another amazing furniture makeover!! Love those knobs! Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof
So, so, so fun! Such a little detail can add sooo much! Hope you had a great time with my girl, Cassie! She’s awesomesauce… Bis spater!
Thanks! Yes we had a great time and I agree she is awesome.
Bis später 😉
I adore the hand painted wooden circles – what a great idea! They add such character to the dresser.

Thank you Marie!
This is a really beautiful color (love the knobs too) is it straight from the can? It looks a bit lighter than what is shown on the website.
Hi Kim, yes it is straight from the CeCe Cladwell paint can, you can make it darker depending on what wax and how much wax you use.
And thanks for coming over!
Thanks Megin and I will check it out!
I really love the dresser! Care to ship it to me? Haha. Such a good idea with the nobs. I really love them!
Love this!! Totally Pinned it! Thanks for sharing on DIY Showcase party!!
Shelly
BeeeYOUteeful, Julia! You’re so good at styling too! Hope you’re having a great weekend! xoxo
We’re the glass knobs pricey? Where can I purchase them and wax paint? Thank you, you are a very talented creator=)
The glass knobs came with another old dresser, but I have seen similar acrylic knobs at HomeGoods lately. You can purchase the chalk paint at any CeCe Caldwell retailer and they also sell wax but you can also buy wax at home improvement stores.
