Ok Donna… you asked for colour… here it goes!
About a year ago I had this old but cheapo piece of furniture which was either doomed for the garage or the trash.

But I needed some extra storage for linens and maybe a dog leash or two…
Now… at the time I was really into color…
I actually was painting some very colorful folk art paintings and selling them online.
A definite color phase in my life.
So… I decided to do a funky, colorful and eclectic piece.
I stripped it, repainted it and put it in the dining room.
It has since been moved around since I painted my dining room bone white.
Aww… but look at the red candle… I’m still working in this room and I believe you will see a splash of color on the walls here soon!
Ok… back to the furniture piece…
I’ve had some friends tell me it looks like a piece from Pier One. Wow!
Here it is filling in an empty corner space.
I like it here because it adds a splash of color to this ignored, dark corner and catches your attention/eye back there.
Oh… and look to your right… my old farm table bench with another splash of color…

I have alot of red/maroon color accented in my home.
Now..I gotta say…
I have fallen in LOVE with all white themes since I’ve been blogging. And I also LOVE the color of old grayish/brownish, natural tones against a white palette (like you see in Donna’s house)…
And I’m slowly incorporating those styles into my home…
but for now I have a ton of color “splashes” in my decor and it still brings me joy… so I keep it around!
Thanks Donna for the Colour Challenge… hope this fits into that theme! Congratulations on 3000 followers!
What a great piece! You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a Pier One piece! It's really cool and I love it on the white/cream wall, because it is stand alone piece. In a more colorful, cluttered room, it might be too much, but here it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies! :)
ReplyDeleteI like that it is a one of a kind piece and the way the undercolor streaks through adding a touch of interest.
ReplyDeleteBut your farm table bench has me inspired. (Shape, not color. Nothing stays white around here.)
I love that first piece... funky!
ReplyDeleteI love how you combined those pieces of furniture to make something truly original.
ReplyDeleteGreat hits of colour! I really like the unique shapes of the white bench and the storage piece. Love the sailboat too.
ReplyDeleteWowzer! It is Pier One! I love it and if I didn't live in a (boring) male-dominant household, I'd do something bold like that too. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS WONDERFUL PIECE. YOU DID A GREAT JOB. I AM A NEW FOLLOWER!
ReplyDeleteWow, does it ever! I love that you totally went for the gusto and didn't let fear stop you. It turned out really cool! Funky even. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
Donna

ReplyDeleteWhat a super fun makeover! You sure transformed it. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the bench and I also LOVE the sail boat on top. Did you make that?

Absolutely LOVE the cabinet. I too love splashes of color. You are amazing and I remember YOU from the time you were on the sidebar at Donna's with that amazing metal awning!!!!
