Bohemian Small Chest of Drawers

This piece of furniture turned out to be a "happy accident"!  I found it at an estate sale and knew I wanted it.  Event thought it only had 3 drawers it has the look of an apothecary cabinet with many drawers. the first thing I did was take the front board off the top, it didn't seem necessary to trap your belonging on the top. (it looked too much like a tiny changing table)  Then I painted the whole thing in Behr restless sea and boy o boy that is a vibrant blue.  I did not like the way it looked too blue but I was committed so I continued and painted the whole thing.  I let it dry and then decided to dry brush a neutral color over the top first I tried a copper color and that was wrong, wrong, wrong.  I finally settled on collectable by behr (the color I used in my dining room) and it was ok it really toned down the blue but I was not happy with it yet.  I put it to bed and came back to it in the morning and to my surprise once the paint dried it showed the right amount of blue and beige (texture, texture, texture)and I loved it.  I sanded it, distressed it and hand waxed it and now Im very happy with my little accident.
