I’ve shared a few posts lately about brightly painted furniture, like the trash-to-treasure nightstands and little lime table. Bright, vibrant colors have it going on right now, from jewelry, to clothes, to furniture… Adding one simple piece of brightly painted furniture to a room can bring it from simple & understated to frisky & fun instantly. And the best part about this trend? It’s the PERFECT opportunity to transform and revive any old piece of furniture, so you’ll save $$ too! Normally, when I paint furniture I like to look for pieces with great detail and character, but the process is a bit different for me when I’m painting something a vibrant color. Since bright colors have a voice all on their own, it’s okay to use more old & boring simple pieces of furniture. So dust off that old, forgotten about table in the attic and give it a fresh coat of FUN!

Love, love, love this post! I adore painting furniture bright. I even painted my built-in hutch high gloss turquoise blue. My husband thought I was crazy but now he loves it! Here is a picture: http://talesofaretromodernhousewife.blogspot.com/2012/05/glamorous-housewife-in-country-living.html

Sarah,
That’s great! It’s fun to step outside the box sometimes =)
I’d love to see your piece when you’re finished, please feel free to share your before & after in the Your Picks section!
Sarah, the chair looks great, love the color!
Props to you for stepping outside your comfort zone, it certainly paid off!
Heya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
Thank you for the heads up. Which images are you referring to? Everything seems to be appearing fine for me.
Best,
Jordan
I’m sure painting something.
I’m currently working on a roll-top desk and a Dixie Bow Front Dresser! The dresser will be bright pink/fushiaish in color, not sure on the roll-top desk. Thinking maybe red! Love the pictures!
This is the site that has really inspired me to use colors far brighter then I would normally use….I was so inspired from this site and I am now a Bright COlor Paining FOOL….I cant stop
