16 May Everybody’s Gone Surfing…

Surfing U.S.A.   I couldn’t help but sing when I finally finished this dresser that I’ve been tinkering with on and off for several weeks.  I painted it three times trying to get it just right but each time I wasn’t feeling it.  Am I the only one who does this?

I initially painted it in a rich green but felt this color was a bit too taste specific to sell quickly in our area.

You know me, I like to mix ‘em up so I layered over it to tone it down a bit.

The top was given one nice coat of APC’s Blue Jeans which has since been retired.  I washed over that color with APC’s Surfboard.  The two colors really pop one another!

The icing on the cake was when my friend Laurie stopped by and asked if I wanted to borrow her awesome stencil for anything.  Um ~ YEAH!

I mixed up some leftover sample pots to paint a base color of orange then topped it off with another layer of yellow.

Scuffed it up a bit then sealed it with Clear Wax and off she went to the shop to await her new owner.

Ooo~La~La!

Finally ~ I Likey!  What do you think?

Want to create this look without the guesswork?  It’s easy ~ Order one of our Shizzle Design Custom Paint Kits.  This particular combo is called “Everybody’s Gone Surfing” and can be purchased here.

Follow us on our ShizzleLLC Facebook Page for daily updates, especially if you’re looking for furniture as a lot of it is flying out the door before we can photograph it and get it to Not So Shabby.
