I haven't been posting very much lately, not because I haven't been doing anything,,,quite the

I got this really cool Asian inspired chest a few months ago. I knew I wanted

a glossy latex and finally settled on an emerald green (BM Emerald Isle to be exact). 

                           The flash totally wipes out this color. It looks really flat in the photo! 

I used some yellow in certain spots because I wanted it to show through the green when I 

distressed some of the spots. 

I just stuck it in my bedroom area for now. I'm still deciding if I want to keep it or not.
