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!

Turquoise Again!

I fell in love with this Sklar-Peppler dresser as soon as I saw it.  It was in fantastic condition, but the brownish colour was pretty uninspiring.  

I decided to pull out my favourite shade of turquoise and make her over.  

She also features small highlights of various shades of blue and some yellow to accent with the hardware.  

The oak grain is still visible through the paint which is something I really love about oak.  It adds a depth and almost gives the furniture a stained-like quality.

I love the swirly detailing on her drawers and cupboards.  I gave her a mild distressing.

Here is a before shot, you can see how lovely she was in her original state too.  It was almost a shame to paint her.  
Almost.  :)
