A navy and teal dresser turning into dark grey with gold finishes sounds so elegant for an entryway. I once refreshed a thrifted side table, and the whole room suddenly felt more intentional. Home projects remind me that people do not always need new things; sometimes they need imagination, sandpaper, and one brave paint choice. I’ve browsed ginnys while looking for cozy home pieces, and this reveal has that same practical, pretty, lived-in charm.

I love it . I also want to do the same with the dresser but don’t know where to get this colour from as I live in Pakistan and I’m afraid this brand will not be available here.

Thank you so much Skyler! I used a gold leaf paint! It applies much better and you can find it at Michael’s:) It’s a small jar of liquid.

Your blog is so beautiful and I have loved looking through all of your creative and fun ideas! I recently purchased the Opera Gown paint because I plan on doing this same thing with a funky cool dresser of mine! I am just wondering if you knew what gold paint you used for the drawer pulls? I tried to paint mine with a gold paint and the paint didn’t stick so I am definitely not using the correct kind of paint!
Thank you and wishing you all the best.

Hi Katie! It is fake but has a great texture and thick bendable center. I got it from Michaels!
