secret of domestic bliss #57...a painted dresser

Oh how refreshed I am now that the Adore Magazine photoshoot has wrapped. I will fill you in on all of glamorous details later. For now, I am getting my day ready to attend a few events. One being the NY Spaces, top 50 designers of NY soiree...Should be pretty fun to see and mingle with some of my most favorite designers. What ever am I going to wear?
While, that is extremely important, the matter at hand today is my dresser....

A while back I found an amazing vintage dresser with beautiful details but I left it all wood, because the craftsmanship is just perfection. Then, I spotted this gorgeous yellow dresser in this photo and almost died. It brought me back to several photos of painted dressers that stole my heart and I realized that I love color and painting my dresser might just put the gorgeous finishing touch on my room/apartment.
The purples on these dressers are just so delicious, I am questioning whether or not I should use one of these gorgeous hues. 
I really love this blush pink color...it's such a pretty shade.
WHAT COLOR SHOULD I CHOOSE???

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. love painted furniture in moderation--it adds a great detail of color that is not fabric driven. Good luck!

Hi! I would definitely go with the deep royal purple in picture 2 with the tub. It looks so rich!

I love painted dressers they make a room look so glamorous! And it’s a fab way to make a plain dresser look really chic! I’d need to see the rest of the room and furniture to make an informed decision on what I think would be great a great color for the dresser, but as far as I can tell, just make sure the colors compliment the bright pink! :)

I love them all! I have a very cheap dresser my husband had from pre-me. After we got married I was determined to toss it, but I decided it had really had nice lines. It was such trash otherwise, so I just went for it and painted it. That dresser has been shabby chic white, oxblood red, glossy white and is soon to be a waxy blush pink. (We've been married a long time). Just remember whatever color you choose, you can always paint over it. Have fun!

Personally, I love red. It's so bold and unexpected! But if you're going for a cooler tone, I'd do a dark purple!

I am IN LOVE with the plum from the bathroom picture. So fresh and elegant. It is super easy to do yourself too. Sherwin Williams has a lot of great products and their staff is very knowledgeable. Love your blog!
