The Bedroom Dresser Is Painted (Before & After)

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

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

And…I like it. For some motive, it seems brighter in images than it does within the room. Within the room, it seems darker, however not too darkish.

I prefer it from each route. It’s going to look good with the lobby bench…clearly, since I matched the colour to that cloth. You’ll be able to see the material draped over the sting of the bench within the photograph beneath. And the chapel image has a ton of inexperienced in it, additionally.

And it goes with the inexperienced within the hen cloth completely. I’ll even be including some inexperienced to the bedding. The truth is, I’ll most likely be utilizing that inexperienced cloth that’s mendacity on the wallpaper within the photograph beneath.

Right here’s what it seems like collectively from the room entrance.

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

So, it’s accomplished. And I’m actually pleased with the way it turned out. I do know I disenchanted lots of people who thought that inexperienced was a horrible selection, however I actually do like it, and I feel it’ll all work as soon as the room is finished.

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

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 seems 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 had been already drilled within the drawer fronts, but I thought these were very pretty, and the dimensions was precisely what I wanted.

To get the smoothest end doable, I took all the drawers out in order that the drawer fronts could 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 all the pieces 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. Because the 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 treatment, 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 — General Finishes High Performance Topcoat in a flat finish (affiliate hyperlink). If I had been portray kitchen cupboards, I’d clear coat all the pieces with Basic Finishes. It supplies such a sturdy end that I really like to make use of on cupboards in kitchens and different excessive visitors areas and areas the place individuals collect. However on furnishings items in areas with far much less visitors, I discover that the clear coat is barely actually wanted on the highest to guard the end from objects which can be positioned on the highest.
