Painted furniture has been all the rage in the past few years and I definitely got caught up in the trend. (Although it’s amazing to me how quickly and dramatically trends have changed!) If you’re willing to look through this post, be prepared for maybe a little inspiration, and to be witness to some bad decisions and crappy photos. It’s all part of the learning experience!

Here’s 30+ painted furniture before and afters:
- French dresser painted turquoise – One of my favorite projects! At the time this style of dresser was in high demand!
- Coffee table
- Antique dresser
- Picture frame
- Mid century dresser. I hated this set at first and tried to make it shabby chic. Thank goodness I didn’t get rid of it. It fit in perfectly with the mid century trend painting navy!
And again…
- Glazed desk – I painted this for one of Will’s cousins.
- Dresser – This $5 dresser made a fine TV stand for fresh college grad :)
And again…
- Flea market chair – painted and reupholstered
- French side table – garage sale save
- Gray and blue dresser
- Gray and white desk
- Kids table
- Another dresser
- Coffe table
- Emerald green dresser
- TV Cabinet
- Green chest – one of my most popular pieces!
- Coffee table made out of a door
- Stained and painted table and chairs
- Old school desk
- Another desk
- Cream Buffet
- French night stand
- Another desk…
- Shabby Mirror
- Gray headboard
- Pink mirror
- Yellow side table
- TV Cabinet
- Distressed turquoise side table
- Sewing table
- Green cabinet
- Turquoise cabinet
- Green side table
- Another side table…
- Another side table again…

September 16, 2014 at 11:38 amThis is gorgeous! We have a similar one that was refinished white before we got our hands on it- they’re the best. It’s in our kids room too. Your friend is one lucky girl!

September 16, 2014 at 2:52 pmI love the way it turned out! I have a similar style of dresser that I painted (badly, I might add) black years ago and it really needs a revamp. Maybe that will be one of my fall projects :)
