Moisture Ring on My Son’s Newly Painted Furniture

I walked into my son’s room and spotted a ring on his dresser that I recently painted.

I am glad he was at school, because I might have freaked out on  him.  I do that sometimes over things that really aren’t important and then I feel badly later.

Since I didn’t have to spend time freaking out, I thought I would try to fix it before he got home.  I had used Annie Sloan’s chalk paint and was when I redid the dresser.  After a little brainstorming I decided to try a sanding black, wax and a paper towel.

And it worked.

I first tried to add a little wax to it and the ring was still there so I sanded very lightly and added more wax and the ring disappeared. 

When I was finished I gathered all the stuff my son left on his floor, dresser and night stand and piled it in his recliner.

This is a great way to get him to clean his room.  He likes to sit in his chair and can’t when it’s piled high with things he should have put away.
