    How do you make furniture look shabby chic with paint?
    Hello world!

    I have a shabby chic, new that looks antique, kind of girly style in my apartment and want to buy an old wooden dresser and repaint it. How do I make it look old and worn, without looking dingy? I know that I want to paint it dark brown, other that that I'm lost.
