25 Painted Furniture Projects to Inspire

It has been awhile since I’ve refinished furniture, but if you follow me on facebook, you probably know that I recently scored a great little side table for only 5 bucks and I can not wait to get started on it and another piece of furniture that I recently dug out from under my “project pile” in the garage. Yes, I have a pile so I guess it is time to start painting furniture again so my 2017 goal of being able to park in my garage could be a reality.

The even more exciting part is that I recently got Home Right Finish Max paint sprayer and so now I’m so excited to get started. I just need a day to make it happen and well, summer is sorta kicking my booty with fun and besties coming to visit, so there hasn’t been as much time to dive into big projects. But don’t worry. I have some fun stuff on the books that I plan to start next week.

So I thought to really get my creative juices flowing I’d do a little homework and gather inspiration.

I used to redo furniture a lot, but haven’t in a long time and there are just so many options when it comes to redoing an old piece of furniture. painted furniture ideasAs you can see I’m sorta drawn to clean lines and pops of color when it comes to furniture makeovers. Let’s get a closer look…shall we?

This first one is an IKEA dresser! Can you believe that? How awesome is the painted detail that was added? I really love that there is still a lot of wood visible, but a ton of fun too!

I’m pretty sure this is an IKEA dresser too but with an ombre paint job that is to die for! This whole room is so stinkin’ cute. The fading of the color from one drawer to the next would be a super easy way to get the ombre look without having to worry about blending at all.

This dresser was redone by my friend Katie at Upcycled Treasures. It was really ugly before, but with this deep blue paint and those amazing copper pulls that she added it is stunning!finished-navy-and-copper-mid-century-dresser-upcycledtreasures{source}

I’m loving the pastel trend and this minty color is one of my favorites especially in this dull finish that is so popular right now. And that stool with dipped legs is just too cute!

This green dresser has been one of my favorites on my Pinterest board for some time. If your’e a regular around here you know I love this shade of green cause I used it throughout my outdoor living room but it is the gold hardware that they added that just puts it into a whole other category!

What a way to redo a mid century modern piece of furniture. I see these on craigslist all the time and usually pass them up, but I won’t be doing that anymore! The two tone is done to prefection!

I love this idea for it’s simplicity. We’ve all had bar stools like this at one time or another but adding that small pop of color just around the rim is genius isn’t it?

I have to say, I love chairs. I would pretty much buy every lonely chair if the hubs would let me. And painting them all the same color makes them go together without really going together which I love too. Watch out craigslist! I’m on the hunt for lonely chairs now!

I love me a coral dresser and this one is so pretty! Again the gold hardware is the perfect addition. I think I’m going to need to convince my lil’ lady that coral should be in her big girl room.

I’m well aware that this one is white, but I had to include it because I just love it. White, crisp, furniture is one of my favorite things.campaign-dresser-serena-and-lily-inspired-mirror10

Another reason to not pass up lonely chairs ever again. When you already have one, you can just paint a different one to go with it!

This would be so perfect for a kid’s room! I love that it is fun and still super sophisticated.

This color was really popular a bit ago and I still love it. I think just as important as the color is the finish. This one has a barely sheen to it.

I think I’ve seen this exact side table at garage sales and the shape and original color of it always make me pass it by. But look at it when it is painted a beautiful shade of mint! It brings it into modern day! Love it!

Another trend I can’t get enough of is partially painted furniture. It’s been around on dressers for awhile, but this is awesome because you still get the natural from the wood and then the pop of color from the paint. And I love mixing rustic and poppy color!

I know this is another coral dresser, but it is so different because the lines of the piece of furniture are so different. The other one was very girly, but this one I could possibly get away with putting in my master. I guess I’ll know if the hubs is reading this if he brings it up 🙂

How fun is this chair? I love the bright color with the neutral fabric. Again…lonely chairs beware!

Ok so clearly I’m going to need to set aside some time to paint something mint and something coral because I just seem to be drawn to these two colors over and over again.

Now take my new fave color mint and put it on a mid century dresser and I can’t resist.

Now this I have to try! Check out that pop of fun when you open the drawer. It’s details like these that make projects so much fun.

More coral but this time the idea of dipped legs is reversed. They left the legs natural and painted the rest. My head is officially swirling with ideas! Hopefully I’ll be able to sleep tonight.Entry_Table

This dresser didn’t even have legs when it was rescued. And now it looks like a million bucks!

Game Changer! Check out the pattern on the drawers of this beautiful piece. I’m going to need a few more pieces of furniture so I can try all of these ideas out for myself.

Love me some stripes and the pop of color on the hardware is so much fun, not to mention they go with the theme of the room.

Again 2 of my favorite things. Mid century furniture and two tone.

And last but certainly not least is this bright yellow armoire that was one of the first things I ever pinned when I joined Pinterest. I love it!

I hope you had fun today on my inspiration journey. Lots of people ask me where I get inspiration and the answer really is every where I go, but the internet can be a great source of inspiration. If you have a project in mind or a DIY that you want to try, start a Pinterest board and start collecting ideas so that you can mix and match them to come up with something that is uniquely you.

I can’t wait to get started painting furniture with my new paint sprayer, so stay tuned in the next few weeks to see the results.

And in the meantime get some tips on how to find great stuff on Craigslist!

15 minutes is all it takes to… Clean out a draw 15 minutes is all it takes to…  Clean out a drawer, a cabinet, or quickly flip through your closet and grab a small bag of items you don’t need or want…  …and the impact of 15 min. rapid fire decluttering sessions adds up quickly, even after just a couple days!  Last night I cleaned out two drawers while the oven was preheating for dinner (did you see me in action on stories?) They were two drawers near our drop zone where things started to get stuffed and one of the drawers I use daily since I keep my notebook with the weeks meal plan, to-do lists, etc so it was driving me nuts that it was getting to be a chaotic mess.  So I set my timer for 15 min. to tackle it and not only did I get that one drawer done, I got the drawer next to it done and everything that didn’t belong in the drawers put away in its proper place!  The moral of the story is, you don’t have to set aside entire afternoons to clear the clutter and get organized. It can be done ones 10-15 min. session at a time.  So that’s what I’m doing. I’ve committed to a short decluttering session every day for the next week or so.  Join me! Give me a thumbs up if you’re in!  #declutter #declutteringtips #decluttering #takebackmyspace #organizedspaces #organization #organizingtips #homeorganization #clearouttheclutter #cluttercontrol
Just when I thought I couldn’t take any more of Just when I thought I couldn’t take any more of what 2020 has had to offer it’s continued to come in full force. The Rona 😷 has officially infiltrated our home (my husband has it) which put me into panic mode 🥺 trying to get everything for Christmas totally ready and all my biz stuff wrapped up for the year knowing I’ll probably get sick too.⁠
⁠
Then to top it off something broke with our sprinklers in the front yard and they wouldn’t shut off. Thankfully I noticed right away and my amazing gardeners came over to help fix it but with the sun going down and not having all the parts they needed, and a bigger problem than we thought we have been without water. —They came back first thing this morning though (did I mention they’re awesome) and fixed everything up so I get to turn the water back on in about an hour and oh man is it going to feel good to take a shower (and a deep breath).⁠
⁠
So far me and the kids don’t have any symptoms so I’m staying focused and getting all my to-do’s done so I can go into next week ready to enjoy Christmas in total quarantine and have time to get sick if that’s what’s coming my way.⁠
⁠
It’s the weirdest thing to be planning to get sick, but it’s where I’m at! Hahaha!⁠
⁠
Hope you are all staying healthy (and sane)!⁠

Today I want to tell you why I started sticking to Today I want to tell you why I started sticking to a color palette in my own home.⁠
⁠
It wasn’t just because it allowed me to make quick decorating decisions, work with decor I already owned, and stay within my budget.⁠
⁠
✔️It's because color is the fastest way to create a look that flows from one room to the next and make my home feel really good.⁠
⁠
My home definitely didn’t get to where it is today overnight, but if I had to narrow it down to THE ONE THING that catapulted me in the right direction with my decor it’s when I finally figured out COLOR. ⁠
⁠
A thoughtful color scheme can create a nice flow from one room to the next, which is great, but color is also scientifically proven to affect your mood. ⁠
⁠
WHEN YOUR HOME FEELS GOOD, YOU FEEL GOOD!⁠
⁠
Let me ask you...👇🏼⁠
⁠
💭How do you currently feel in your home and how do you want to feel?⁠
⁠
Think about it for a second.⁠
⁠
💭Is the way your home feels now holding you back from the way you want to feel, things you want to do, or people you want to spend time with?⁠
⁠
I know there’s a bigger reason behind creating a beautiful home you love.⁠
⁠
And I bet it has nothing to do with impressing guests.⁠
⁠
Maybe for you it’s creating a space to really recharge, spend more time with family and friends, or to inspire more creativity.⁠
⁠
So what is it for you? Tell me in the comments.⁠

I read this morning that you are the culmination o I read this morning that you are the culmination of the 5 people you spend the most time with...⁠
⁠
...hmmm...does that mean I act like a 7 and 10 year old cause lord knows we've been together A LOT lately? 🤣🤣🤣⁠
⁠
But really, joking aside, are you intentional about who you surround yourself with?⁠
⁠
Do they light you up, inspire you, and teach you things?⁠
⁠
As uncomfortable as it is sometimes, I'm a huge fan of surrounding myself with those who know how to do things I want to learn. (And of course I'm a huge fan of spending time with people who I can share my know how with too.) ⁠
⁠
So now the question is, who are you becoming?⁠
⁠
Just something to marinate on today...⁠

My whys right there👆🏽 . We're evolving into My whys right there👆🏽 . We're evolving into a new phase where these two are helping out more and more around here and I'm loving that they take a certain pride in our space. ✨⁠
⁠
Of course we've got a set up that allows lots of play, messes, and "chill time" as my 7 year old calls it...⁠
⁠
...and although they may not be able to pin point it, I can tell that they too feel really good in our home and keeping it organized and feeling good, makes them feel good. ⁠

Creating a home you want to be in takes time, but with smart choices and a little patience it can happen.⁠
