Learn how to beautifully age, distress and transform new wood drawers into perfectly distressed vintage-inspired storage.  Happy Monday, Friends! I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  I just got back from a week in Myrtle Beach and it was just what this girl needed.  Lots of sunshine, amazing food, relaxation and much needed time away from work and social media. As much as I enjoyed the break, I was definitely ready to get home and back to work.  As soon as the car was unpacked, I started on a dresser makeover then gave new storage drawers a cool vintage-inspired makeover.  I love green and I love vintage , so I combined the two to turn new wood drawers into beautifully aged vintage-inspired storage.   SUPPLIES NEEDED TO AGE NEW WOOD - Small storage drawers (I got mine free from a friend, but yard sales, thrift stores and flea markets are great secondhand sources) - Paint (I used Shackteau Interiors Milk Paint in Village Green) - Clear Wax   - Old English (for dark woods) or ...
