Baby Blue

I have been wanting to paint my make do buffet in my eat in kitchen for some time now. I seen a picture of a pretty baby blue chest and knew I wanted my chest to be blue also since this is my favorite color. I have 2 rooms in my house blue

I purchased this chest at at a thrift store years ago and always liked the swirl side decorative pieces, I have forgotten what it looked like when I got it. Sure a wood finish.

I got the mirror separate at a sale for $20 I do remember that. I feel like when you get something that reasonable of a price you can afford to paint it or whatever and not much money lost if you don't like it. But I like painted furniture

Here is my finished baby blue chest/buffet and mirror, my kitchen is white walls however this picture shows a yellow tint. I took it with my cell phone
                                                   

 I had company Saturday and after they left I didn't want to go any where knowing I would spend money I shouldn't spend so I found a project to do inside. Which I have plenty of projects waiting.

I am a sloppy painter and always paint outside but with the humidity up in the 90's I though I can do this inside and try to be neat. I used an old tablecloth on my floor in the kitchen.
When I painted this yellow I sanded it to look worn in places and always like that look.Funny  story I had an electrician in my kitchen once to wire up a chandelier and he said Jan that piece really needs to be painted it looks ruff. I told him I made it look like that, he just didn't get that shabby chic look at all.

 I had already took a drawer out and painted it blue before I thought to do before and after pictures.
Below is the swirl legs I like

 I thought about sanding places on this also however two ladies said oh no it looks good like it is so guess I'll leave it. I like it plain also

I still may take some silver paint and highlight the flower medallions on the mirror. Or should I leave it all blue? This picture is when I was painting it you can see the yellow peeking through before I had it all done. I got it all painted in about an hour and half.
