I hope you have all been having a wonderful week!

My husband has taken off work the two the kids are out for break from school!  It is so awesome to have us all together, for most days anyway. The kids of course like to spend some time with friends.

I am looking forward to the new year and beginning new projects in our home. Painting furniture and accessories is such a wonderful way to give new life to items that seems dated or old. I hope you will be inspired by 15+ Awesome Furniture Painting Projects You Can Do!

Here are 15+ Furniture Painting Projects

Let’s start with one of my painted furniture make overs.  I love this piece.  It is painted in Annie Sloan Chalk paint, Emperor’s Silk. This is a very bold red and I love it.  You can find the full post HERE.

Christy, from Our Southern Home made over an awesome $15 yard sale find her mom gave her.  She used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to revive it for her teen son’s room. You can find the complete how-to HERE from Our Southern Home.

Now it’s your turn! Do you have a piece of furniture around your house that you have been thinking could use an update?  If painting furniture is something you have never tried be sure to practice on a piece of scrap wood first.

Be sure to pin these projects for future reference.  All I ask is that you click on the link and pin directly from the blog they came from.  This will allow you to have the exact post you need when referencing.

Happy Painting,
