If it's your furniture what's the problem? Why in the heck not? Sure it's pretty the way it was originally but it's even prettier in the aqua. I love that color you made. I'd love to have that dresser. So serene and pretty. <br />I've been known to do things like that too. I'll use whatever is handy and make it work. When we lived in KY I got a wild hair one day to paint the living room. I wanted a pretty taupe or tan color so I went into the pantry (where my son who had remodeled the house then sold it to us) had put leftover paint. There was about 3/4 gallon of white semigloss so I went into my craft acrylic paints to find whatever brown I had. I proceeded to dump browns in til I got the shade I wanted. Let somebody match that paint. <br /> We lived out in counry and I was pretty broke but wanted to paint l/r that day. I knew if I went into town by the time I got home I'd be out of the mood and it would be too late. So I started painting. I couldn't find the rollers/pans so I used this straight flat thing for around windows to paint the whole living room. When I make up my mind I just go for it. I paint picture frames that way also by mixing shades I have to make enough paint. What have I got to lose? What's funny is it seems those things turn out best. <br />Believe me painting that l/r wasn't easy. Was a good size room with two doorways out of it and 3 big windows. I started about 11 I guess and got thru about 7 that night. I had to move some big pieces of furniture also. When my husband got home I didn't say a word. It took him about 2 days to realize. My husband was a trucker at the time and gone during the week. <br />If I thought about things before I did them alot wouldn't get redone in our house. My husband says he never gets bored as he never knows what I'll do and I'm almost 72 now. What fun.srpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-39438343884489157612012-05-25T12:37:06.159-04:002012-05-25T12:37:06.159-04:00I'm picking up a dresser tomorrow to do this t...I'm picking up a dresser tomorrow to do this to!
