Want to achieve a beautiful light green look? Farmhouse Green is the perfect color for the job! Check out how Denise of Salvaged Inspirations was able to create a gorgeous looking dresser by utilizing this color on her piece.

If you’re a fan of green you’re going to love this. If you’re not, this might just change your mind. I wouldn’t usually dedicate a post to a new paint color, but this Farmhouse Green totally transformed this salvaged dresser.

The top was a shiny laminate so I used Slick Stick to make sure the paint adhered. The rest of the dresser was factory painted wood so I lightly sanded with 150 grit. And now to start painting. Isn’t it exciting when you start painting with a new color that you LOVE? This green is so happy and fresh! Here’s what it looks like in its pure state after 2 coats were applied; no wax, topcoat or distressing.

This is the after product sealed and protected with spray wax and antiqued with black wax around the edges of the drawers and frame.
