fun with red

I don't have a lot of 'before' pictures of this set, because I was really at a loss regarding what to do with it all.

Have you ever looked around and seen a bunch of totally unrelated & different pieces of furniture?  That was how I felt about this group.  But what unites pieces of furniture better than paint?

The bed started like this, and it was so cute in red that I couldn't resist giving it some friends.

Just a note about the color:  the red in the picture above is much more accurate than the red in the 'after' pictures.  Not sure why?!

When I paired this red chair with the brown & white geo-key fabric (same fabric I just used on my dining room chairs) I knew it was meant to be.  In my mind, I see this set going to a little boy's room.

 This table was something I bought at Goodwill ~ it was topless when I bought it for $2.99.  So I stained a piece of scrap wood & my sweet husband attached it to the table and added some trim to finish it.  The corners where you can see raw wood.... I promise you couldn't see this in real life!  But after seeing the pictures, I went back & sanded, then painted those corners again.

I love how it turned out, and it is such a testament to what paint can do!

Thanks for coming by!
