The Jolly Green Giant by Modern Vintage "This used to be a cabinet, but with the doors removed it is an open shelf ready for books or baskets or anything in between. It's been painted a bold green that has been toned down a bit with the dark stained top and drawers. Dressed up with a tiny bit of fancy on the original pulls." The green is a mix of GF Basil Green and Emerald Milk Paint and the top and drawers were stained with our Java Gel Stain, aka, "The One Coat Wonder".
The Distressed Fleur De Lis is always looking for new ways to get the best look with GF products. " As a creative type, I'm always trying out different techniques and finishes.

Do you like the dry brushed look or are you not really a fan of it? "
