Painted Furniture

I have been working with many Interior Redecorating clients lately.  One thing I find is that many of them have a room with mismatched pieces of furniture which are functional but do nothing to enhance the room's design. One way to save these pieces and make a design statement is to paint them a standout color.

For just a few dollars, and very little effort, an old hand-me-down piece can become the focal point of a room.  The yellow dresser above brings lightness and energy to the space. Anyone can easily create a similiar effect in their home.

Some tangerine paint and a half yard of fabric brings this simple chair to life.  Paired with the complimentary green console, the chair makes an even bigger statement.

Painted accessories are a safe way to add strong color even if you are color shy.
