In follow up to my previous post on furniture I won’t paint, this post has furniture that I can’t wait to paint! This is furniture that I plan on utilizing ~ perhaps in different ways then currently used ~ when we downsize. These pieces have to be painted to fit in with what I have envisioned for our next home.
This table/desk. It’s hard to see because this room is difficult to photograph, but it’s that orangey looking stain. It was an inexpensive piece but it is all wood. I’d love to do this in chalk paint, but not necessarily the white. We’ll see. I think this is a versatile piece. This could work as a bedroom side table, a desk, a craft room table, a hall table and would even work in a decent sized bathroom {imagine towels rolled up and stored on the bottom or a basket to hold t.p.}.
This three drawer dresser which presently sits in my entry foyer. This works great for storage in this space, holding winter hats, gloves and scarves, as well as my overflow table linens. I’d like to paint this and put it in a guest bedroom.
Next on the list are these bookcases that were part of my son’s bedroom set and he decided he didn’t want them anymore. I love them and moved them into my daughter’s old room. I can see them painted and, hopefully, used in a future craft room. I would love to try the harlequin pattern like the chest pictured on my sidebar on these.
Last, is this hall tree. I’d love to do this one with the gray and old white chalk paint. I’d need to figure out what to do with the brown and cream marble top though. Maybe using the dark wax would help that blend in. Of course, I still have to get to my thrift store headboard.
Soon. Promise.
So, that’s what I got. Now I just need to figure out do I paint them before we move or after.
