You may know by now that I love painted furniture. I think that old, discarded pieces from the past that are stuck in basements or dark corners of a room (or given to a thrift store) are so much fresher when painted. Why buy a new dresser or table or chair when great ones already exist?
So I was thrilled to come across a terrific design shop in Calgary this weekend that not only features furniture and art by local and international artists, but also believes in refinishing old pieces of furniture. DaDe Art & Design Lab has these great pieces that have a modern feel due to the high gloss finish and the hardware painted out the same colour. Love them!
So are you a fan of painting old pieces of furniture?
I love this look and have a booth where I sell my painted pieces - painted furniture always makes a statement ( a good one!)

ReplyDeleteBTW- while I adore white, I am drawn to some of the bright colours I'm seeing lately. Maybe my all-white phase is evolving?
Love the painted furniture!
