Blonde Going Grey
/Remember this Blonde dresser…
It went grey…
Olympic’s Zero VOC Mountaintop and Silver Charm to be exact. I really like the Zero VOC for painting furniture. The paint doesn’t smell…which is nice when you are putting the dresser in a bedroom…or when you are painting with some kind of viral infection that has taken over your lungs...(On a side note, when a Lowe’s employee tries to tell you that Valspar paint is low VOC and doesn’t really have a smell….don’t believe her. It’s one of the strongest smelling paints. Lesson learned.)
It always takes me a little bit to get used to something new living in our house. It always feels like a stranger has moved in with us…but it’s growing on me. I am, however, not completely sold on the top drawer handles. I don’t love them but I don’t hate them. I’m giving them some time.
It’s hard changing from a matchy-matchy decorating style to a more eclectic style. I know it’s still a little matchy being grey and all but I still feel like it doesn’t “match”…baby steps.
I had considered maybe a green or a plum but that’s just not really our style…and that’s ok. Not everyone can be bold and daring.
Now to figure out what to add to the top of the dresser. We are pretty minimalist people and don’t have a lot of “stuff” which means I will need to purchase some things. I’m thinking a lamp, a fan, and maybe some frames. Luckily I am indecisive...which will allow the paint to fully dry before I place anything on it.
What are your thoughts? What do you think of the handles? When will my West Elm curtains arrive so I can "finish" this room??? So many unanswered questions!
