Teal Blue Dresser— Custom Furniture Painting

The colour Homestead Blue easily became a favourite from the first time I dipped my brush into it. It’s a complex blue with a hint of grey and an undertone of teal, offering oodles of charm and confidence! I just finished flipping this vintage bureau for Lori, in this fan-fav colour — quite the transformation if I do say so myself!
