A Painted Piece of Art
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008A 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!
