We’ve rounded up some of our favorite paint transformations to get you started.
Faux textured furniture can quickly look dated once the original finish gets dinged. Sarah ofRoom For Tuesdaydemonstrates how a quick paint job in a more modern hue can completely transform a thrift store find. Sometimes those vintage pieces also have gorgeous brass hardware hiding underneath, just waiting to be restored.
It’s hard to believe this whimsical entryway console started out as three plain ole’ white cabinets. Ariel atPMQ For Twois the queen of colorful DIYs and continues to inspire people to have a little fun with their projects!
If you have some inexpensive plastic chairs, give them a dramatic makeover with a color-blocked paint job.Ashleyshows you how to paint the material the right way (so the paint lasts) and make them look custom and high-end.
We haven’t forgotten about upholstered furniture. Ashley ofSugar & Cloth有一个基本的扶手椅,还是舒适的布鲁里溃疡t she never really loved. With the help of some fabric paint, now this once plain piece shines as a living room statement.
Try a two-tone approach to highlight details and structure. Those beautiful mid-century legs and drawer detailing got lost in the original flat, one-tone finish but really came alive withReeves’ contrasting paint job.
My jaw dropped when I sawNatalie’s DIY. At first I assumed the delicate embossed pattern on the drawer fronts were a part of the original dresser and sighed wishing I had that kind of luck at the thrift store. But no, she used texture powder and stencils to disguise dings, then covered it all with a rich coat of navy. You have to check out her tutorial for a whole new level of upcycling possibilities.
Laurenloved the shape and price of this Craigslist sleigh bed find, but the cherry red stain did not fit the style of her home. Instead of trying to sand in between all the detailed work, she used a tried-and-true weathered wood effect that makes the frame look like she spent a small fortune getting a custom piece.
Lauren is back at it again. This time she transformed a set ofnesting tablesthat were more ’80s country than chic into a gorgeous faux bone inlay set. Check out ourroundup of DIY bone inlay projectsfor more inspiration.
