But I have to share with you why there will be some more blue projects.
Look at what I have...
To you, this may just seem like a lot of paint cans.
But to me it is my version of winning the lottery.
That is because I got all 7 of those cans of paint for.....FREE!!!!!!
Some couple that lives in my area couldn't make up their mind on paint colors and bought 3 gallons of two different colors of paint...and didn't like either one.
So they gave away all the cans and threw in a brand new gallon of white paint too!!!
There is a lesson here folks.
Never buy multiple gallons of paint until you are sure of the paint color.
But tell others to buy all the paint they want and then you may get some for free. ;)
The two colors I got are Misty Morn and Ozone from Behr.
Ozone is a blue color with a little grey and Misty Morn is a grey color with a little blue. Both are pretty colors.
So I am sure you can guess that I painted this dresser with one of those colors.
So now the dresser looks like this.
Since I am not a pro at editing photos to show off the great color. You can't really see the awesome color. I actually painted this one with the Ozone color.
Do you know how much more fun it is to paint something with free paint?
May you experience it too.

Lucky you! I love the dresser, and its curvy lines, too
We used to have the exact same dresser, but it never occurred to me to paint it. Yours looks great in blue!! And how lucky are you to get 7 cans of free paint :-)

Beautiful! I am, as I type in the process of doing a blue/gray nightstand while watching a little football. Now I know what color to paint the hardware, just like yours. Are the pewter?? Please email me and let me know what you used...thanks for the inspiration!!
That looks beautiful. I too hope to experience free paint.

I love the dresser. That blue is dreamy, you are such a lucky girl to get all of that free paint!
This is gorgeous! I love it :)
Too funny! I can't believe they bought 7 gallons of paint without being sure of the color. Actually I am lying. LOL I have been trying paint colors for 2 months and now have 8 gallons, 6 different colors. I think I will end up using most of them somehow though :)
The dresser is fabulous! You do beautiful work. I hope mine turns out nearly as well.
You did a great job! I have a dresser I'm redoing and I can't seem to settle on the color. I like the one you used. I may have to duplicate it.
that is gorgeous... so elegant.
Beautifully elegant transformation!Thank you for such an inspiring post. French Provencial furniture is what I grew up with. I feel so @ home in it's presence.
Fondly,
Pat

Lucky you! Love those colors! Great job.
So lovely!
what a wonderful job of painting you did on the dresser! the transformation is amazing - it doesn't even look like the same piece of furniture. and free is *always* good, isn't it?!
Color me jealous- I love paint and I love blue. Oh the things I could do with that paint- I am becoming a follower to see what you do.
MMM, love this color, thanks so much for linking up.
It so pretty! I love the curves...they look so much 'curvier' with the blue!

That color is divine! And that dresser is so pretty, what a great piece to have in your home.
Great lines on that dresser-how fun-free paint!
Great redo! Very pretty. Free is good! :D
You're very lucky to get all that free paint. I'm surprised with that much money in that paint, they didn't try to make one of them work. I've been known to mix old colors I have at home to paint when I buy several cans I hate.
Love how your dresser turned out. So soft and pretty!
This is gorgeous!! I love furniture painted in blue/grey shades. You did a great job on this and how wonderful to get all of that paint for free. Way to go!
God Bless,
Kathleen
Oh boy...I need to go get a bib because I am DROOLING! Gorgeous!
Love, love, love!
Fabulous restyling, perfectly imperfect change for the better!

Wow! That dresser turned out beautiful and your free paint gift is amazing. I happen to work in the paint department at Home Depot who sells that paint and your gift is valued over $200.00 You did very well.
So pretty!! I'm always amazed at the difference a coat of paint can make. And I'm so jealous that you got the paint for free!!

It looks great!! Love the distressing. I have a thing for blue furniture right now... just painted a thrift store cabinet blue too :)
