Jasper: Dark Green on Furniture Inspiration

Slowly my paint inventory is transitioning from lighter colors to darker and from chalk style paint to Sherwin Williams Emerald brand. I’m loving it’s no-top coat properties. Top-coating is my least favorite part of furniture makeovers due to easy to miss drips and runs plus the streak potential. The Emerald brand glides on super easy and leaves no brush strokes. It makes me look like I know what I’m doing – lol.

Recently, I took home Sherwin Williams Jasper dark green paint. Greens are on-trend starting last year. It is also my favorite color! I’ve been careful to avoid the olive green military green though which is why I leaned on this one.

New Color

Only 2 things were done to take this cedar chest from boring to an attractive accent piece. SW Jasper did a great job bringing this piece into this decade and I owe a lot to the perfect hardware find at D Lawless Hardware.

New Hardware

It was a very lucky mistake! I had neglected to fill the old hardware drill holes in the bottom drawer prior to paint. They are a 4 in center to center pattern so I thought it would be easy to find the bar handles I had in mind. It was not. I searched the internet high and low for 4 inch handles. It took me several looks at these to decide that the pillow effect of them match perfectly with the chest ‘pillow’ rectangle panels. They are spray painted in hammered bronze and gold highlighted using rub n buff.
