Ombre Dresser Makeover

Our white dresser on our white wall in our master bedroom was just really really, well, white. So I decided to brighten it up a little with a distressed, whitewashed ombre look:








I love it, & it was a free makeover. So, obviously, that makes me love it even more.

Are you loving ombre?







P.S. I linked up at The Weekend Wrap Up!

    I just love those free makeovers! I'm loving how the colors get gradually darker as you go down! Luv it!

    How did you find the right paint colors? Did you just get sample sizes of a few similar colors on the color wheel? Or did you mix it yourself?
    Also, I love the whitewash and distressing. I would love some instructions or a tutorial.
    I have a white nightstand that I would like to do JUST like this for my daughter's room! I'm thinking weekend project, here we go!!
