Paint

February 14, 2016

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!

Soft and pretty.

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

P1080554
Painted it Benjamin Moore White and hung it over the desk.

Four of these 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.

P1030833
A beach house bathroom gets a facelift with a cheery cherry red Benjamin Moore paint.

P1030818

P1040320
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 old pine TV cabinets like this one that we all had?  I painted the outside black,

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

P1030168
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.

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!
