I just bought a maple dresser at the Salvation Army for dirt cheap. Unfortunately the natural wood does not match my colors, so I was thinking for doing something funky with it. My colors are Zen Green and Gold. I was thinking of cracking the top and the drawers (black and gold underlay or vice versa) and paint the dresser a solid green. I can change the handles too, so this has the potential to be a work of art if I do it right, which is what I am hoping for. I have been all over the internet and I cannot find a picture to even get an idea if this is going to be fabulous or ugly. What do you think. I love funky-chic, but not "jus' down-right-uglies".

Please let me know your thoughts. If you have any other wonderful suggestions I would like to hear them. Please make them easy renovations, I am still a beginner. Thank you.
