Dresser Do Over in Fusion's Azure

Autumn Floral Wooden Box

Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning Dixie Belle transfer looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

It is very rare I redo a piece, I think only one in the past. But when this one of a kind "drippy paint" technique dresser sat for so long and was either loved or hated I decided to give it a more "classic" paint job. I totally saw it in a little boys room as a fun dresser, it is the perfect size and made of lovely maple.

For the makeover I went with Fusion Mineral Paint in azure blue. This bright turquoise color looks great with coral, pink or white for a little girls room or navy, grey, yellow or black for a little boys.

Step one remove the new hardware and power sand the dresser. The chalk paint drippy technique gives lots of texture that needed to be tamed. Wiped down it was now ready to paint this pretty color.

Fusion Mineral Paint in azure blue was applied with my Zibra angled sash brush in two coats. To keep a bit of interest and texture, I cross hatched the second coat.
