Instructions

  1. Basecoat sides and top of chest and front of bottom drawer with Irish.
  2. Mix three parts Irish with 1 part White Adirondack in a Styrofoam bowl.

  4. Add one part White Adirondack to the paint mixed in step 3 and paint the fourth drawer front from the bottom.
  5. Add one part white Adirondack to the paint mixed in step 4 and paint the fifth drawer front from the bottom.

  7. Let paint dry and add drawer pulls.
