The design advice I give most often to clients whether it’s a big project or a small one is all the power of paint.  Paint is the cheapest and easiest way to transform the look, feel and style of a piece of furniture, a room or even and door.

If you want to make a change within your decor but don’t want to spend a lot of money achieving a new look, consider paint.
