Painted Furniture

I've been seeing loads of painted furniture. Check out some examples and ideas.

Voltaire Dressoir - $1490 (special rubber coating). If you don't need it for outside or heavy use look at craiglist for a good find, spray out yourself or take it to an auto body shop to be sprayed with a high gloss finish.

Daniella Chest, Pottery Barn

Curvee Shelf, from House Eclectic $371

Next two photos from Knack Studios. Great reuse of furniture. Check out her site for before and afters. Love how she incorporated fabric or wall paper on the drawer fronts of the side table.


If you are up for a DIY project, check out this craislist posting that has many inexpensive pieces that are great in shape/form.
