TRYING to Organize starting with paint
 

I have had these cubes for over a decade but they never got a coat of paint till now. I will be storing my favorite most used fabric bolts in one and quilting supplies in the other. I wanted to match the fabric I am using in my "quilt studio" (actually my living room). Finally was able to find the right shade of lavender. I had planned to paint these cubes with the lavender on the outside and this light cream on the inside. I was lucky to have bought an oops semi gloss enamel quart for half off ($7.00). But then I brought home this sample of green.

Here is my dilemma: I am now painting the bottom and both inside sides with the green. I was planning to paint the door and the front edge in the lavender, If you look at the position of the door (will only be using one drawer on each shelf), will it look odd with the 1" of green that will show?? I just want to get these paint and installed but I want to do it right the first time. THANKS in advance for any assistance !! :)

I think either way would be fine. I would definitely give a second coat.

I don't think it will look odd at all. Go for it

I think the green will set off the lavender door color

I think it will be fine.

Because your using pastel prints I think the two colors will go find together, think of it as making it like a quilt !

It's going to look great! A word of caution - I did the same to a dresser drawer & when completely dry, any fabric I put next to the paint stuck to the pain. Maybe put a piece of shelf paper or some type of liner before putting the fabric directly onto the painted surface. Good luck w/your project.

You can use a spray can of clear to seal the paint -- but make sure you allow several days to thoroughly dry & 'cure'. I also would find a nice piece of trim at the fabric store that has both green & lavender in it and glue to the front edges to cover that, or buy the white iron on trim and iron it onto the edges to finish it off.

I think it will look great!

The green is a nice accent color.
