Here is a before picture.
I power sanded the whole dresser with the help of my cute eight year old.
We bought some paintable embossed wallpaper border at Lowes. I cut a piece for each drawer and painted the wallpaper before I put it on the drawers( this is what the directions said to do). I let the paint dry overnight.
After the paint was dry, I was able to follow directions and apply the wallpaper to the drawers. After I put on the painted wallpaper, I painted the whole drawer the rose color.
I painted two coats of the gray chalk paint onto the outer part of the dresser.
I put one coat of dark wax on the drawers and polished them with a clean t-shirt rag. I brushed on a second coat of clear wax and polished them again. I then attached the drawer pulls.

I brushed on two coats of dark wax over the outer dresser and polished it off with a t-shirt rag. The dresser was done.
