A painted piece of art!  Not only do your walls need color sometimes, but so does your furniture.  I love a special painted piece of furniture to express your personality in a room.  I stumbled upon a great site, Painted Furniture.  They create hand-painted furniture with a charm.  The site includes everything from a small stool to a large armoire.   Here are some fab pieces. 

Sometimes it just takes a little elbow grease and some color sense to transform an old piece you currently have to something great.  I think everyone at some point has inherited a dingy wood piece.  These are the best pieces to transform from garage sale to colorfully chic.  Anything with carved detail and curved features could be a diamond in the rough!  See examples from Design*Sponge, below are pieces that got a transformation with fresh paint and added details.  I love the patterned paper and fancy gold rose hardware.  Hardware is a must to any piece!

The new fabric by Joel Dewberry and black paint added to the matching chairs makes for a mod new style.  What a great addition to any room.  Pick up your brush and make a statement using an old furniture piece and bringing it alive.  It is a wonderful way to transform and recycle at the same time!
