Roaring Like a Lion

Roaring Like a Lion

Dresser before its sage makeover

I fell in love with the design of this dresser. I know you can’t tell from this picture, but even the handles of the middle drawer are lion heads. I wanted to give this a distressed look. If you want to see the step by step on how to we paint furniture see this page: How to Paint Furniture

When we painted the first coat, I used an Oops paint that I thought was sage, but it ended up coming out mustard.

I added some green that I had to make it a nice, light sage color and sprayed it a second time.

When I went to distress the dresser, it came out with a really nice two tone look that I really like. I will definitely be doing this technique again. Sometimes mistakes can teach me something! :)
Here’s some of the after pictures. (My little guy took this picture and I think it came out great!)
