Turquoise Dresser


This vintage dresser has turned out very coastal with pops of white and the natural timber showing through.
I originally painted it white but it just didn't seem to do the piece justice so yesterday it came to life.

I usually prefer white to most colors--but you are right --it has so much more interest this way. It looks so beachy--love it!

Gorgeous, you do such an amazing job. Live the distressed aqua colour more than the white. It tells a different story now.

I think the new color gave it just the touch it needed. It's a great piece I like seeing the wood showing through.
