I finished up this green piece today just in time for Saint Patrick's Day!
Temperatures here were in the low 60's. I'd call that lucky!
I just loved the solid, chunky feel of this little chest. It would make a great end table or nightstand. It's a nice departure from all the feminine pieces I'm working on right now - lots of French blues and grays. I almost missed a before picture. My husband came outside to check on me and the next thing I knew he was sanding. He actually likes to sand. Definitely not my favorite part of the job. And doesn't he do a great job? Maybe I can talk him into quitting his day job so he can do all my prep work!
I decided to give spray paint a try on this one, also a departure for me. I think it's because I've been dreaming about a paint sprayer. Yes, literally dreaming about a paint sprayer.
My color of choice was Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Moss Green in a satin finish.
I liked it so much that I did absolutely no distressing or glazing.
I know, I'm breaking all the rules on this one.
These chunky handles are really cool and very heavy.
I sprayed them with Rust-Oleum's Hammered Black finish.
I finished with a coat of Minwax Wipe-On Poly for durability.
And there you have it, a little Irish green for Saint Patrick's Day!
I hope you're enjoying the luck of the Irish today!

I really like this color. Cute!!
I love it! The both the paint color and the handles! It really turned out great.
Looks fabulous and I LOVE the green! I just used the same spray paint on dresser handles. Good choice! :)
Dear,
I think I'd better keep my day job for now------
with that job I can take days off for golfing.
I love thie color of this piece. I think you were smart not to distress, it keeps the eye focused on the lovely color and lines.
This is GORGEOUS!
great job. i love the color and the knobs look stunning on it.
I love it! I want to start working on some projects after seeing this. Beautiful!
Love the color, spray paint is my new bff, it's sooo much easier than rolling it on :) Too bad we can't just mix it up in any color we want!
Looks perfect! I am going to have to try Moss green now! Spray paint is expensive but so much faster than rolling it on! A Sprayer would be Heaven! Hope your dreams come true!
That is so beautiful! The color is wonderful. My husband uses a paint sprayer and he swears by it!! Thanks for sharing your project :)
I love the color, turned out great!
