Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly discover yet another green that I love, along comes BAYBERRY! Honestly, just how many greens can there be?! For those that follow along my portfolio, you’ll clearly see that green is very much a favourite of mine! Just when I think I’ve painted with all the green colours a girl can paint with, another one comes along— OR I custom mix my own for even another one! But honestly— Bayberry (in my love for green humble opinion) is undoubtedly the most perfectly perfect vintage green! So perfect in fact, I have every intention of transforming our kitchen cupboards with it, and also incorporating it into our vintage Airstream remodel that we’re currently working on this winter!

Colour Comparing
On-screen colours are merely a digital representation, and will vary from screen to screen (device to device). Depending on your screen/device, the colour(s) that I share online may naturally seem slightly different in person. Lighting and surroundings dictates colours! I picture all my pieces against a white backdrop with white lighting, as I feel this portray’s the truest colour in digital form— however depending on the wall colour and lighting in your home, the colour may slightly differ. Here are some pictures to help aid with online colour consideration:
Before & After
Vintage Green Dresser
My first QUEEN ANNE Antique Dresser SCORE! Despite missing a hardware drop-pull and a broken leg, there was no hesitation when this lovely popped up in my Marketplace feed! I have been aching for a dresser with such deliciously curvy front legs! I didn’t mess around with this purchase— in fact when I showed up at the sellers door at exactly 4pm when I told her I’d be there, she said “WOW, you just might be the most punctual person ever! It’s exactly 4 o’clock!” I was NOT taking any chances with this one I tell ya! I HAD to have her, and I was most certainly going to arrive on time to get her!
Selectively Salvaged and Loved by me
For YOU
Queen Anne Antique Dresser here folks! The first I’ve come across in the 7 years I’ve been flipping furniture finds! Despite holding some damage, I was NOT holding back on scooping this rare piece! Transformed in what I personally feel is the most perfectly perfect vintage green. With the added application of both glaze and wax, I was able to achieve a lovely amount of depth and dimension— AND to finish her up just right, she also holds 2 new solid oak queen anne legs and new queen anne hardware! And of course I decoupaged her drawer sides too— cuz every girl deserves all the pretty! I do see this lovely lady in an entryway, with a vintage frame or mirror with ornate antique brass; adorning above her! She’s ready and waiting for her next chapter, and will undoubtedly make a charming statement in your home or cottage.
