How to paint a Green Ombre Dresser

As many of you know I do love a good dresser transformation, so when I found this cute dresser on CL I had to have it. 
Before:
The dresser is made of solid wood and had a lot of potential.  It was a tad wobbly, so I added a support and made it sturdy again.  I love green and just felt like this cutie would look good in some shades of green.  I took out my Green Acres by  The Urban Rooster and added a little white and painted the bottom drawer, then I added white and lightened it and painted the next drawer and so on until I had all the drawers painted.  I painted the base of the dresser with one of the middle shades of green.  I distressed the dresser and then sealed it with AS clear wax and added new crystal knobs.  













I love how cheerful this dresser is!

    Green is one of my favorite colors. It looks so fresh no matter the time of year! Beautiful!

    Love how the colors transition slowly from dark to light. I think the slight changes are what make it so appealing.
