Green Chippy Dresser

I found a great dresser the other day at the Flea Market and brought it home.  

Before: 

This dresser was a pretty aqua color and looks nice in the photo, but up close it was pretty dingy and dirty and it really needed a new coat of paint. 

I mixed up Miss Mustard Seed milk paint, I combined Boxwood Green and Ironstone, to  get a soft vintage green color.  

I painted the dresser with 2 coats of the milk paint and after it had dried, I scraped off the flakes and distressed the edges of all the details.  

I wanted the yellowy-white, the aqua and the green to show in the chippy layers. 

The last step was to seal the dresser with Linseed oil/dark wax. 

I love the details on the legs! 

I do love milk paint!
