For everyone that asked, I am going to share my "recipe" for the Robin's egg blue paint.(thanks so much for all of the compliments yesterday!!) I didn't start out with this color blue paint. Oh no. I bought one shade of paint and it was too blue. Bought another...too green. I mixed them...a little of this, a little more of that. I came up with this color and took the painted stir stick in to Home Depot when I ran out of the paint and had it mixed to match. It's Behr Brand,and I always buy eggshell finish, except for the paint I used on the kitchen walls and in the bathroom, where I used semi-gloss.(Oh, and on my kitchen and bathroom walls I also added 1/3 part white paint to lighten it up.) The dresser I shared yesterday was then antiqued my usual way in a tobacco glaze.
