The Bedroom Dresser Is Painted (Before & After)

With all of that stated, I went with inexperienced. I attempted to match it as intently as potential to this cloth that I plan to make use of on the bench within the lobby. This cloth is from Spoonflower.

So I ended up selecting this Glidden shade referred to as Moss Level Inexperienced.

And…I find it irresistible. For some cause, it appears to be like brighter in pictures than it does within the room. Within the room, it appears to be like darker, however not too darkish.

I prefer it from each route. It would look good with the lobby bench…clearly, since I matched the colour to that cloth. You possibly can see the material draped over the sting of the bench within the picture under. And the chapel image has a ton of inexperienced in it, additionally.

And it goes with the inexperienced within the chicken cloth completely. I’ll even be including some inexperienced to the bedding. In truth, I’ll most likely be utilizing that inexperienced cloth that’s mendacity on the wallpaper within the picture under.

Right here’s what it appears to be like like collectively from the room entrance.

That cloth that I’m contemplating utilizing on the mattress as an accent is that this one, additionally from Spoonflower. It’s the very same shade because the inexperienced dice cloth that I’ll be utilizing on the bench within the lobby.

So, it’s achieved. And I’m actually proud of the way it turned out. I do know I disenchanted lots of people who thought that inexperienced was a horrible alternative, however I actually do find it irresistible, and I believe it’ll all work as soon as the room is completed.

Additionally, there’s quite a lot of that inexperienced within the wallpaper within the rest room…

And that inexperienced can also be discovered within the wallpaper in my closet as nicely.

So right here’s a have a look at the dresser earlier than, when it was in our earlier bed room…

And right here’s what it appears to be like like now. I discovered the brand new drawer pulls at Lowe’s. I used to be restricted in my choices since I needed to work with the holes that have been already drilled within the drawer fronts, however I believed these have been very fairly, and the scale was precisely what I wanted.

To get the smoothest end potential, I took the entire drawers out in order that the drawer fronts can be horizontal, and I made certain to show off the fan within the room whereas they dried. The longer the drying time, the extra time the paint has to self-level when it’s nonetheless moist.

I painted two coats, permitting about an hour of dry time between coats, after which left every thing to dry in a single day. After which this morning, I put the drawers again in after which put the brand new drawer pulls on. For the reason that dresser was beforehand painted with latex paint, and I used to be utilizing latex paint this time, I did little or no sanding. I solely spot sanded areas the place I may see imperfections within the earlier end, however I didn’t sand the entire thing.

After I give the paint a couple of days to remedy, I’ll return and put a few coats of clear end solely on the highest. And naturally, I’ll use my favourite go-to clear coat — Common Finishes Excessive Efficiency Topcoat in a flat end (affiliate hyperlink). If I have been portray kitchen cupboards, I might clear coat every thing with Common Finishes. It supplies such a sturdy end that I really like to make use of on cupboards in kitchens and different excessive site visitors areas and areas the place individuals collect. However on furnishings items in areas with far much less site visitors, I discover that the clear coat is barely actually wanted on the highest to guard the end from gadgets which can be positioned on the highest.
