Paint

February 9, 2017

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 brands 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 vanity doors and chose the first one, Farrow & Ball London Stone.

P1060455
Add some new knobs and a big change!

P1070701
In an orange bedroom, I took the mirror from over the bureau…

P1080554
Painted it Benjamin Moore Decorator White and hung it over the desk.  Walls painted Benjamin Moore Spring Iris.

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

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

P1080123
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.

P1070866
A bulky kitchen pantry (far right) gets a new look…

P1080152
I painted it Farrow & Ball Joa’s White, added some new cabinets…

IMG_5160
A whole new look!

P1030159
Remember the bulky, old pine TV cabinets like this one that we all had?  I painted the outside black…

P1030168
and the inside Farrow & Ball Tallow to match the living room wall color when we redecorated.  A full-service bar!

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
