Go to green. . .
The latest project changed midway. . .
The desk was supposed to be black but my best laid plans are often changed. Once I began sanding I realized that this was destined to become another "scraped" look. So far I've had two other pieces of furniture that transitioned into this perfectly (A Treasure and Art Deco).
Desk is available at Troy Antiques, $78.
Cute and blue. . .

Mean green. . .
Just "chalk this up" to me wanting to be different. I almost always paint in (off)white or (off)black--those colors seem to sell better/quicker--this time I had to be different! This wonderful old chest has been dry-brushed in green--yes, green. I think this gives it an "anthropologie" look and feel. The drawer pulls are fabric--I realize not everyone would understand this but really it's just another "anthro" trick.
Now why can't I sell to Anthropologie?
This chest can function in a bedroom as a dresser--in the den, to hold a television--on in a dining room as a buffet or sideboard.
Available at Troy Antiques, $138.
