hibiscus pink dresser


so ya know that pantone revealed 2011's hottest color to be what they're calling "honeysuckle" pink, right? so, i love pink anyway, but usually i'm drawn to lighter shades of pink, but when i saw that was the pick of the year i had to jump on board! so i got out my sherwin williams paint deck and found this beauty called "hibiscus" -which i think is close to the "honeysuckle" color. so far, i've painted this dresser a doll high chair and a wooden tray for my coffee table in this color-and all w/ a $6 sample from s.w. this dresser is in the shop now .it only cost me $5 on craigslist plus paint and i already had the knobs, they were free to begin with! sorry about the pics-i still don't have a camera (i returned the one i bought-cuz it was just crappy!) so i'm still using my cell phone for a camera! the pic of the dresser better represents the true color of this paint. my plan is to save up for a really nice camera and not waste my time or $$$ on cheapo's! until then, i hope you will con't to visit regardless of the poor photo quality! i'll be linking up to some great parties-check them out if you get a chance! re-stored it wednesday , Beyond The Picket Fence  vintage thingie thursday

    Your photos look fine to me. So no worries on that score. I love that color too. I am always glad to see what a fellow decorative painter is up to and working on.

    I'm loving that color too. I usually am drawn to softer shades but I'm thinking of maybe adding some pillows in that color for summer. I love your dresser and chair in the color its very striking. I'm a new follower.

    Can I tell you how much I love that pink (it's no secret I'm a HUGE pink -I would say fan but it's more lover- I am). Do you hand brush or use a sprayer? Lordy I get claw hand when I try to brush furniture!
