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.

Painting a piece of furniture can turn a country vibe into a beautiful french inspired look.

Replacing the mirrored back with bead board also adds style as does updated drawers and door pulls.

A basic unfinished and inexpensive piece of furniture can become a stylish piece with just a quick coat of paint.

If you want to add a bit more drama to your decor, paint can help you do that too!  Black is becoming a classic in furniture and gives a piece of furniture a sophisticated feel.

This is one of my favorite before and afters ever.  A cheap wood cabinet looks like something you’d find in a custom home after paint, trim and pulls.

tip:  use wood picture frames as trim instead of custom cutting your own

And even the country’s top designers will tell you that painting kitchen cabinets can give your entire kitchen an updated and new feel.

White cabinets are back in vogue and set against a dramatic wall color AND painted backsplash (yes, paint that too), this kitchen looks fabulous.

Easy decorative updates as just a few strokes away so don’t be afraid to give paint a try when you are ready for a new look at home.
