My Latest Paint Project

I've had an old dresser in the basement for years just holding junk.  Since I'm now divorced and changed my room to a girlie room, I decided I needed that dresser made over and brought upstairs.  It was bought in 1976 when we built our first home, and was a maple color.  I decided that color had to go and looked in my leftover paint cans to find a color in the turquoise family.  There was part of a can left with the 'Copper Patina' color that we painted the walls in the library.  I mixed in some Plaster of Paris and water to make a chalk paint to use.  My daughter came that afternoon and helped me get it in the house.  I had made a dash into Good Will and picked up some brass pieces that I thought would look good on it.  The dresser is to the right in the photo. I also  moved the chair and ottoman over to that side of the room. Next is a photo from the front. I added just a touch of white and spray painted the handles glossy black...
