Going Green

So, when we moved, The Girl got a MUCH larger room and I no longer had a use for my (larger) bedroom furniture. As such, she got my stuff. But we had to make it "hers," so we decided to paint the dresser. Bright Green.

I knew I was going to want to distress it AND that I'd want some of the original black to show through the distressed areas, so I went with Glidden's paint and primer in one so I wouldn't have to sand the black away, but neither would it show through where it WASN'T distressed. It didn't negate the need to sand ENTIRELY since I needed to get rid of the finish, but there was a lot LESS sanding this way.

Emma chose New Grass Green as the color and we got it in an eggshell finish.
