Must have Dresser

I was asked if I could re-finish this dresser, but since i don't restore furniture and only paint it, she kindly asked if i wanted to buy it! How exciting, I already had a plan for it and it wasn't even mine yet!!
It had these weird carvings on the door, but they were missing a few chunks, usually i would try to salvage the original carvings but these were of 2 faces that looked like they were yelling at each other... weird, i know!! so i took them off, puttied the holes and this is what she looked like:



I used a teal color, and grey for the panels, (grey is my new favorite color)
A bit bright, and kindof beachy... not the look i was going for.. but as usual I busted out the Minwax stain.. I cant help myself! I love the look of stain on everything!!


I love this one so much,, hmmmm i just might keep it. I will probably have my poor husband move it all over the house to see if it will work and if not, it will be in the shop :) 
(gotta love husbands!!)
