Paint

There is nothing better than paint to transform something.  A room, a piece of furniture, an accent piece.  You can reuse things over and over just with a new coat of paint.  I tend to use Benjamin Moore and Farrow & Ball paint most often.  Here are a few examples of some little tweaks I’ve done with paint.

To update this old master bathroom vanity…

I tried a few colors on the doors and chose Farrow & Ball London Stone.

Add some new knobs and a big change!

Orange bedroom be gone.

Picking a new wall color.  A tie between Benjamin Moore Spring Iris (on left) and French Lilac.

Spring Iris won.

Soft and pretty.

In the same orange bedroom, I took the mirror from over the bureau…

Painted it Benjamin Moore White and hung it over the desk.

A cabinet made to hide all electronic equipment in a family room…

Is painted fun colors to match the throw pillows in the room.

Four of these metal bistro chairs were rusting away in my garage.

A couple of coats of Rust-Oleum glossy dark gray…

Now they are perfect for our kitchen eating area.

Small in scale and don’t take up as much space as our old chairs did.

A beach house bathroom gets a facelift with a cheery cherry red Benjamin Moore paint.

Beachy and fun.

A bulky kitchen pantry (far right) gets a new look…

I painted it Farrow & Ball Joa’s White, added some new cabinets…

A whole new look!

Remember the old pine TV cabinets like this one that we all had?  I painted the outside black,

Bar when it was green

the inside green and made it into a bar in our living room.

I painted the inside AGAIN, Farrow & Ball Tallow, to match the new living room wall color.

    
An ancient hutch (left) was painted white with new knobs for storage in a clients office.

I could go on and on, but I won’t bore you to death.  You get the drift.  Definitely take a look at the 9 new Farrow & Ball colors just launched in celebration of the brands 70th anniversary year here.  Absolutely gorgeous.
