How To Paint Ombre Furniture:
First up: Dresser!
Step 1: Set up paint colors
Since I had 5 drawers on my dresser, I created 5 custom shades of paint ranging from the original color to nearly white in order to achieve the DIY ombre furniture effect.
To view the measurements of my custom mixed colors, visit my blog here!
Step 2: Select color placement
Group drawers; group the drawers into what needed to be painted the same color.
Step 3: Paint!
Paint drawers; Mark with a writing utensil on the bottom of each drawer so you know what exact shade of paint it needs.
Next up: bed!
Step 1: Clean with White Lightning
Clean and prep before painting with Whitecap Silk Mineral Paint
Step 2: Add base layer of chalk mineral paint then a layer of Moonshine Metallics
I painted a custom mix of Moonshine Metallics Wedding Belle and Gemstone Mousse Golden Gem onto the ruffle trim of the headboard. (UPDATED: Dixie Belle discontinued Gemstone Mousse; you can use our Gilding wax as a substitute)
