Jolly Green Dresser Redo

Easy

Here is a dresser that has been in the family for a long time, at one point my mother in law painted it some sort of Ralph Lauren green from the 90's. It was a good update at the time, but is actually quite hideous now. My sister-in-law has the dresser now and I did this update for her.

Such a big difference from the green

Pictures don't even begin to describe how banged up and horrible this paint looks.

This dresser had so many layers of paint on, it went from white, to blue, to green, and no one prepped it right any of those times, so this girl had to do some elbow grease and sand out the rough spots.

I can't wait to get rid of the green!

The darker color is Annie Sloan French Linen (love this color!) and then a mixture of 1/2 Old White and 1/2 French Linen.

I finished it off with Annie Sloan clear wax and painted the the hardware with Old White.

I feel it is a nice classy upgrade from the green, neutral with a big touch of class!
