I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!
I had all of these grand plans to blog over the holiday, but it has been so busy! I’ve been relaxing, planning projects and trying to get organized.
My Christmas decor is still up and it will be until the New Year. I might even share a few more pictures of it because I got some fun new photography gadgets for Christmas that I’m dying to try out. Plus, if you follow me on Instagram, you know the lights on our pre-lit, fake tree died a few days before Christmas and we replaced it with a gorgeous real tree. I am in love with it!! I could keep it up forever!
That said, I really am excited for the new year and beginning new projects at home.
Today, I’m teaming up with a few blogger friends to bring you some great past projects — my favorite kind — the ones that pack a big punch for a little effort and a few bucks.
Painting furniture and accessories is such a wonderful way to give new life to items that you are maybe not so excited about anymore or something you found at a yard sale for a smoking price.
Enjoy and be inspired by 15+ Awesome Furniture Painting Projects You Can Do!
Here are 15+ Amazing Furniture Painting Projects!
First up, I’m showing you my little blue china hutch. If you’ve been here before, you may be tired of seeing it, but it is my favorite painting project to date. And, I love it even more after adding bun feet to give it some height.

Her mom bought her this antique desk in really bad shape at a yard sale for $15. She used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to revive it for her teen son’s room. You can find the complete how-to HERE from Our Southern Home.

I encourage you to look around your home. Is there something that you are just bored with? Why not try your hand at paint! Scared or nervous? Practice on a yard sale or thrift store find first. You can even practice on scrap wood!
I’d love for you to pin the individual projects…just visit the individual blogs from the links and pin directly from their project. It will make it much easier for you and others to find it down the road.
Have a great day and thanks for reading!
