Minty Teal Large Dresser with Peacock Paper

I love how this one turned out.  The pics are not amazing, but in real life she is a great colour and her clear wax has given a lovely soft sheen.  I custom mixed ASCP colours to come up with my various shades of green, mint and teal.  I also accented with some turquoise and blue.  I distressed pretty heavily and lots of the wood shows through.



I originally papered the middle section as well, but I didn't love how it turned out, so I overcame this by lightly painting over the paper and distressing so you can only see it in a subtle way.  A bit like a whitewash.



Thanks again to Dionne at THETURQUOISEIRIS for inspiring me to use the peacock paper. She is amazing!
