Emerald Chest

I have wanted an emerald piece of furniture for a while now. I haven't been able to find that perfect paint color, too dark is hunter. *Ew* Too light is Kelly -and that's cool, but I want Emerald! So I got brave/bored/bold the other day and dragged this small dresser out into the garage. 

This is a picture of the chest where I found it last year- at a junkyard, under a tarp on the highway. -$20


sand. sand. sand.
Here is where it got interesting...I painted the first coat "eden green", second coat I misted florescent green, third coat I misted a primary green.
The color in person has a lot of depth and is very alive. Not sure if it will stay in my room, but for now I like it!
