Tranquil Dresser Transformation | Furniture Revival

"The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom." ~ James Allen

I love the being by the waters edge. If you know me well, you know that I am always going, always working on something, driving the back roads, or getting my hands dirty on some project. There are a few things in life that will slow me down, and bring a sense of peace to my mind, and water is one of them. I could waste an entire day laying by a lake, or walking beside a creek. There is something so serene and calming to my heart when I am around water in nature, in some ways it makes me feel so connected to God , and I love that feeling of contentment and tranquility in my heart.
My love for water, especially Lake Superior, has formed my love for shades of blues and greens, whether its on vintage cars, or in decor in my home, like this tranquil dresser transformation I worked on yesterday.
The color is called 'Dinner Mint' but I really think it deserves a better name, like 'Beach Glass' or 'By the Sea' , but unfortunately I don't name paints, I just use them. ;)
For this project, I did the following:
-Sanded, primed and painted the dresser
-Lightly stained the dresser
-Added a coat of polyurethane
-Spray painted the original dresser pulls in a hammered oil rubbed bronze spray paint from RustOleum
Dresser& drawer pulls before;
After;
This dresser for be for sale at The Shabby Shed Boutique in Bloomer, Wisconsin after February 24th.
