So I headed over to my local Sherwin Williams and perused colors... I found a sample card that had Glimmer (the lightest) , Tidewater, Watery (which was very close to Tidewater, so I had them amp it up 20%), and Drizzle. I already had a can of Snowbound at home for the body of the dresser.
I sanded the dresser and have it 3 coats of Kilz Clean Start primer on the body, and 2 coats on the drawers. Each drawer got 3 coats of paint (I bought sample sizes by the way to save money). And the dresser got 3 coats of the Snowbound. And here it is now! I love it and hope it can hold my TV and cable box in my room so I can keep it. :)
So let's see the furniture greatness you guys have waiting for me!

such a pretty dresser, I love the colors!
I have been loving that inspiration dresser and have been searching for one for my daughter's room makeover. I'm so happy that you found one and to see it reproduced "in real life." Yours looks amazing and makes me want to find the perfect dresser even more! Thanks again for hosting.
Absolutely love it and haven't seen it before. This is something I would love to try. The possibilities of different graduated colors is endless. Awesome inspiration!
You did a FABULOUS job Cassie! I love it!

Cassie that graduated look is so in right now (shower curtain from Anthro) and it turned out beautiful. So smart to buy sample sizes, your paint guys must really like you!
I don't have furniture to share but I had to comment on your dresser! LOVE it! I hope you find a spot for it.. but if not you could send it my way:)
I have this exact same photo in my inspiration file! I've been dying to find an appropriate piece to try it on! You did an awesome job Cassie!! I love it! Hope it works at your place!
Cool idea! Think you might put pulls on it?
Great job, I love the look of it. I hope you get to keep it!
yep - I agree with everyone - that dresser is amazing! :) Love it!
The dresser looks great and I hadn't seen that picture before. I must do something about this!!
Cassie, that dresser turned out beautifully! I love the shading. Too bad you don't live closer, I think I already had 3 of those 4 colors in samples from SW from my oldest daughters room color search a couple years ago! Keep the dresser! Deb
Hi Cassie, I've got this pinned in pinterest to do sometime. It's gorgeous.well done. Nothing to link up this week as I'm away skiing! Perhaps a photo of my burning quads?? Lol.
Cheers Fiona
Oh I LOVE it! Now, to find me a dresser that will work with this treatment!
Love this! It would be so cute in any color combination, but the blue is gorgeous!
im in love! yes I have seen that dresser before either on pinterest or other blogs but I gotta say..you did a wonderful job on your dresser. it's just simply perfect!!! I want i want!
That dresser is soooo cute! I would be keeping that baby! I have a dresser in my spare bedroom I might just be trying that on!
Oh that's so so pretty! Please keep it!! I love Tidewater by SW, it's such a soothing color.
Amazing. It's so funny, when I saw the first picture, I thought to myself, I hope she doesn't paint that awesome dresser. I'm so glad you did, its beautiful. You definitely need to keep it.
Cassie! I love that chest of drawers! The colors are awesome. I'm glad you're thinking about keeping it!

What fun! I would have never thought to do that - keep it, keep it!
So cute! I used Watery in my basement bathroom. Too bad I don't have room for a dresser in there!!
Love that idea. Your dresser looks fabulous!
digging the "nod to the mod" lady! I'm with the peeps above - I'd keep that lovely thing :)
That is the perfect piece for that treatment! I love it! I bet we'll be seeing a whole lot of people giving that a try, including me. As always, I'm inspired. You make we want to head out to the garage to paint!
Cassie, that dresser is so you! It is so close to the inspiration picture. Have you ever noticed problems with bleed through with the Kilz Fresh Start? I've never tried it. Thanks for hosting :)
This looks really great. And you found the perfect piece to try it out on, too.
Such a small difference between the colors can make such a big impact! Love it! And thanks for the party :)
Your dresser looks great. So fresh and clean. Thanks for hosting today!
Wow, girl! It's amazing. So unique and fun!
Oh my word! I love your mid-century modern dresser, I love what you did with it and if I were you, I could not bear to let that go. Awesome!
Yep, me too, love at first sight!!! I love your take on it...I can just see this being the new trend in furniture: ombre paint (c:
Dangnabit...should said yeah i wanted it ;-)
GORGEOUS!!! I am on the hunt for a dresser like this now!!
Ooops! I accidentally posted twice Cassie! Could you delete #59 Bedside Bookcase?
Your dresser turned out fabulous! Great work!
That little dresser is adorable!! Fingers crossed that it works in your space!!!! (and fingers still crossed for your new space ;) )
so pretty, Cassie! Your dresser is adorable!
Whoo hoo! Just made it in time!!!!!!!! Like my description ;-)
I LOVE this dresser, Cassie! The color is great and it's just so unique.

I liked this dresser when I first saw your post. But today (23rd) Husband and I were out "estate saleing" and found a cute dresser for $20. I told him I saw this graded paint treatment that would be perfect for it. He couldn't picture it so I went back and found your dresser. Now I realize why I thought it was a perfect treatment: Its the exact dresser as yours only with five drawers! I'll post when he's done!
Cassie, I love the way this turned out. I think this would be a great treatment for my son's room. I need to find a nice tall dresser for him now. He's 6'2"!
I can scarcely believe that these photos are the same dresser! Excellent job! And I love the idea.
Warmly, Michelle
apparently we think alike using the gradient :)
LOVE it, Cassie! Question: why did you buy all diff colors as opposed to just adding white to the darkest each time? I've finally painted some furniture again, so I can't wait to get in on your paint parties!
Love the colors! It came out amazing.
What an adorable DIY project! Thank you so much for sharing.
Happy Monday!
Well, love love it!! Those colors are swoon-worthy! Thanks for linking up!!
:-)
