Cookbook Crate with Annie Sloan Wax

Annie Sloan Paint is a special decorative chalk paint created by a lady from Oxford, England.  There are 30 colors plus a clear wax and a brown wax.

Recently, my mom found a wine crate from Sam's to use as a cookbook storage box.  She used Annie Sloan's Brown Wax and applied 2 coats.  After 24 hours, she buffed the box until it looked as distressed as she wanted it.
