Yellow Dresser Finished ~

Here is a bad picture of the Craigslist dresser.

I painted it a Vintage Yellow from Glidden. 

This was the free paint sample I requested.

the dresser was dried out and really needed some help

More dark pictures of the in process.

The warehouse is dark and under renovation, so the lighting isn't great

I tried something new and different. I saw a picture of a desk that was painted yellow and white with the white being wood grained. I can't remember what blog I saw this on, but thought I would steal the idea. 

Do you know how hard it was to find a wood graining tool? 

Since the faux painting craze is over, they are a little difficult to find.

When I did find one, I kept looking because I didn't want to purchase the Martha Stewart kit!

But it was all I could find, so that's what I used.

I like it. It is different from other things that I have painted, but that's why I like it. I was getting bored with just painting a piece, distressing it and that was it.  I think this gives it an intersting feature that not everyone does.  We'll see how it goes in the booth. I would like to start doing different techniques and taking more chances with the pieces that I paint.  Keeps it interesting.
