The design for this dresser started with the patina butterfly handles. This once dark brown antique dresser had seen better days but still had good bones so I decided to give it a Casual Coastal makeover. I started by painting an ombre style to lighten up the dark stain. I used GF Patina Green and just kept adding Antique White until I got 4 beautiful shades of Green on the drawers. I used a Coastal Blue and Persian Blue on the body of the dreser.
