Vibrant Green Milk Paint Dresser

It is time for July's Fab Furniture Flipping' Contest entry!  

Theme: “Come On, Let Your Colors Burst!”  

Sponsor: Unicorn Spit  – Vibrantly Colored Contest Wood Stain & Finishes 

Contest Hosts: Stacy (Anastasia Vintage), Evey (Evey’s Creations), Michelle (Dandelion Patina), Carrie (Thirty Eighth Street), Charlotte (Ciburbanity), Lynn (Fern Avenue) 

As I was looking on CL for some furniture, I spotted this great old dresser and went to go pick it up. 

Beofre: 

The dresser has great bones and the fronts of the drawers were in pretty good shape, but the top and sides were looking BAD!  I wanted to keep the beautiful wood on the fronts of the drawers so I cleaned them up, sanded a little and then wiped them with AS dark wax and Tung oil.  They looked amazing and new! 

 I wanted to rest of the dresser to be a chippy green, so I pulled out Bayberry by The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co.  and mixed it up.  After painting two coats of green milk paint I scraped off the flakes of paint and sealed it with AS dark wax and Tung Oil.  I love the color and the chippiness! 

Gorgeous detail! 

Chippy Top

Chippy goodness!

The Perfect Sheets

Recently I had the opportunity to work with Perfect Linens  and try out their new sheets.  We recently finished out remodel and I have a new bedroom with a new bed.  Before the remodel we had a queen bed and now have a wonderful King bed, so I needed all new bedding.  As chance would have it, I was contacted by Perfect Linens  and asked if I wanted to try their sheets and I of course jumped at the chance.  Here is what I learned about  them:

They use state-of-the-art technology to find the most-comfortable sheets that are superior to others.  

They  are the only retailer that tests how sheets feel after they have been washed. 

 I came home from River Rafting and camping to new sheets in the mail!  I was sure looking forward to sleeping in a real bed with great sheets.  The sheets arrived with instructions on care and a container of special detergent to wash the sheets with. 

One of the pieces of advice was to put your sheets on the bed slightly damp to help with wrinkles since they are 100% cotton and can wrinkle when laudered-never knew that one!  

I had ordered the "Second Skin" sheets in Fern Green -"Our extraordinarily supple “Second Skin” sheets are the result of a natural enzyme process that removes molecules from the cell walls of the cotton, making the fibers easier to bend. The enzyme process is permanent so the suppleness cannot wash out. Sateen-woven to further reduce stiffness, with fewer yarn-locking intersections per square inch. The durable 400-threadcount Egyptian cotton construction is mid-weight and ensures dependable wear."

I love the green embroidered border of the sheets and the delicate design.  

After sleeping on the sheets I would highly recommend them and how cozy and soft they are! I sleep hot and like my sheets to keep me cool and to feel soft and that is what I got from these sheets.  My husband even commented on how great the sheets felt to sleep on.   I plan on ordering  another set.  

So soft! 

If you want to try these Egyptian Cotton sheets and get a $50 discount just use the code: DDCOTTAGE50.
