Color my world

I'm on this paint kick, and I want to paint everything in my house.  I'm pretty sure this will never happen (as I still have the office bookcases to paint)  but these photos have given me some inspiration for pretty painted furniture.

I'm digging all the blues I'm seeing. I love white but it's fun to see some other colors too.

Naomi @ Design Manifest said...

love all of these! So fresh and pretty. My problem is I've painted too many things white. Now I want a little color and a little wood back...

Paint and craigslist go hand in hand!

Hello Lover... said...

Fantastic round-up! I'm really struggling to pick one I don't like--I love them all!

Lindsay said...

Ah I love every single picture you've included! I just scored a pair of bamboo nightstands from craigslist that I need to paint this weekend. No idea what color I'm going to go w/ yet! xo

I'm on a similar kick! Every day I go back and forth on whether or not to paint my coffe table/dining table/storage bench/bookcases, etc. If I don't get control of this soon, my house will look like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

Love these painted items, they just add a pop or zest to each room! Like a bright accessory!

Well shoot, I'm inspired. If it wasn't so late in the day I'll pull out a can of paint and get started on something! Janell

I can totally relate. Since we bought our house and either bought or inherited a lot of used furniture it has become the joke that nothing is safe, I paint anything and everything :) Gotta breathe new life right!
