Yellow Dresser, Nevermind...

 
I picked this dresser up not long ago almost 2 months ago, local yard sale site. 




This dresser is HUGE... I was so happy to come across it for $35.00  

I found  my inspiration here: SimplyReinvented


Beautiful isn't it?!

First I tried "Rain Lilly" A butter yellow..

 
 The  process of this dresser... let me say it did NOT want to be painted.

I started off with Kilz 2,
I had a feeling this dresser had been in a smoking home at one  point in its life.

Even with Kilz, stains came through, even with 3 coats of paint.
 
Luckily, I just glazed her up and it looks fantastic.

Yellow was an unusual choice for me..
 
It looked "alright" with the darker paint color I had in my home, but once we repainted it was terrible!

So I chose a better color for my interior and something I knew I would love!
