Painting Furniture Ideas

There are so many painting furniture ideas that I love to talk about, look at, and drool over. There is something about seeing a piece of furniture that has been hand painted that makes me swoon.

Whether it is a flea market find, garage sale find, or just an old piece your grandmother gave you. When you take a piece of furniture that is unattractive and turn it into something gorgeous, well to me, that is something special. That defines

"Living Simply".

Below are some photos to help you get your creative juices flowing. I have never met an object I haven't tried to paint. I have not always been successful, but I have always had fun trying! So whether you are trying to achieve Cottage Style, French Country, or maybe painting your kitchen cabinets is your goal, have fun and enjoy the process.

You can really make your kitchen have character if you decide to mix and match natural wood with painted wood!

This is a more advanced faux finish for furniture.

I picked this cabinet up at the flea market. I liked it red, but needed it to be black to go with the rest of the room. Choosing furniture with unique character is what makes furniture stand out!

Nothing says "homey" like a bench! Add a gorgeous pillow and you have a wonderful piece of furniture.

Plain bar stools are so boring! Add a little color, sand the edges, glaze over with antiquing gel and it turns out beautiful!

This nightstand was painted a very pale pink! Older furniture has great lines! Don't be afraid to try painting an older piece of furniture, the rewards are worth it!

Don't you love looking at unique for furniture? I'm a nut for all things painted! Visit painting tips for helpful suggestions and ideas. I hope you enjoyed these painting furniture ideas. And if you have some great ideas please share! Just click Your Ideas.
