Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine….
OK, so you only got that if you were a die hard “Cheers” fan. Were you? I loved that show… this line was from the episode where Woody writes a song for his fiance Kelly. That was basically how the song went. And what on earth does that have to do with home decor or painted furniture? Not much really, but I painted a dresser in Kelly green by request from a client. So my brain went there…
Anyhow, Bridget is about to have her first baby so we’ve been hunting for the right dresser for her to use as a changing table. After looking for a few weeks, I found this adorable dresser…
Pin
It was in great shape other than needing some paint! We also weren’t sure what we were going to do with the hardware. I suggested painting the existing hardware white to contrast with the green. Bridget liked that idea, and in the end, it turned out fabulously! It’s so fun and unique! I love when clients allow me to use fun colors! This particular color if Benjamin Moore’s Jade Green, in case you are wondering. And I apologize for the not so great pictures- the sun was just too shiny today. Darn sun.

    Wow, what a fun, bright green! I would love to see the rest of the nursery. The dresser has such pretty details on the drawers and the white pulls really pop. Nicely done!

    Looks great! This was the color I was thinking for Sawyer’s mirror…how funny! It looks wonderful with the white hardware and how fun for the baby’s nursery. Nice vivid color! Would love to see a photo when Bridget puts it in the nursery all decorated.

    Oh that is FANTASTIC!! I LOVE anything green in fact my 10’x 4′ kitchen island is BM Brookside Moss…love it.

    I’ve been watching for a dresser to paint and put in my bedroom closet (which I removed the doors from) but I’m having no luck so far. It has to be less than 40″. Your green dresser is making me impatient to finding one.

    I love everything about this dresser! The green, the white contrasting with the green…so cute! I’m finding that my taste is changing from wanting everything to be “new” to wanting everything “vintage.” This is totally my new love!

    You are right about using a fun color once in a while. A baby’s room is the perfect place for a splash of green.

    I always admire your boldness with color! It is an encouragement to me….I always love it. I think I told you that I found the cute little butterfly knobs at anthropolgie….can’t wait to put them on something! Yellow of course!

    Cassie, this green dresser is the bomb. The lines and details of the dresser itself are just fab, and the color is such a wow that I’m swooning (and jealous)! What a lucky client!
