Meadow Green Happiness.

When I posted on my FB page wondering what people thought of a piece of furniture our old Junior High colors, I had some funny comments about the good ole' days and some skepticism about the color choice.

The Junior High color....green. Not your gorgeous green, kind of a cross between kelly green and grass green. The color is called Meadow green. Plain old Rustoleum Meadow Green. They really should be paying me for all their advertisement on my blog....don't you think?

Okay....Meadow Green. I've been dying to mix it up since I saw my old college friend's (she was even my big sis in our sorority) apartment on the COVER of House Beautiful...yep. Seriously. Almost peed my pants when I heard, and then my magazine didn't come for several days after I heard. And then my sister that lives in NY and hangs out with her went to this party celebrating the cover....oh, the excitement and name dropping I am doing! LOVE IT!

Here's the cover in case you haven't seen it.

So I thought I should try again for some color.

I showed you this dresser that I got at ReStore for $23.

Besides being a little grody on the outside and those knobs are not working, the inside was gorgeous and the top wasn't bad. I had intended on sanding the top and restaining, but after I painted it, I decided I liked it.

Now. Fair warning. This isn't for everyone. It isn't. But, I can totally picture this as a changing table in a little boys room, or as an entryway storage area to add a huge pop of color, or a hallway piece, or in an Anthro store with oodles of things flowing out of it, or in the middle of the road in the Sundance catalog...or a buffet....oh, criminy...

Okay, folks, this photo is antiqued, for effect, cause it looked cool.

There are those pulls....bestill my heart....

This is the true color. I still love it. LOVE IT.

It makes me giddy just looking at it. I love it. And I'm terrified of color. Oh, it just makes me happy! As I type I'm grinning.

Thanks Monique and David for inspiring me to paint something in color...
