Painted furniture is a popular trend right now even though I consider it classic because it truly never goes out of style. Painted furniture is an easy solution when you need to change the look of a room and I think every home can use a painted piece or two to break up the look of too much wood. I am a fan of antiquing a piece instead of distressing. I like to give a piece with good bones a second chance by making it look better instead of beating the poor thing to death. Also I don't believe in painting a good antique. Despite what many think, the French do not do that! This post is dedicated to those wonderful blue painted pieces. Blue is a very popular color due it’s diversity in the color spectrum. I have gathered some images of blue painted furniture that would enhance any interior.

Blue was a popular color for painted furniture then too. You would see cupboards much like the one above in lovely shades of blue. I loved it then and still am drawn to it's appeal even though blue painted furniture doesn't work in my interiors today. source unknown We have moved from the "everything painted white" look to a more sophisticated style of painted furniture done in creams, greys, and greyed down versions of other colors such as blue which lend an old world quality to the interior. onestylemile.blogspot.com Blue has always been a desirable color for furniture. An article in Country life in America, 1915, stated that "painted furniture is to be used largely this year throughout. The plain colors, particularly pale grey, ivory, green and blue used in floral patterns are most popular". via Pinterest Shades of blue furniture works great when juxtaposed to whites and grays. cotedetexas.blogspot.com I think the appeal is due to the fact that any piece of furniture looks great painted blue. host.madison.com Painting furniture blue is a great way to revive older pieces, especially those that need TLC but are not good enough to invest in a restoration. Charles Faudree This beautiful shade of blue is reminiscent of the deep grey blue found on the classic 18th and 19th century Aubusson rugs from France. It is an elegant color that works well with many colors as it is a dark neutral. amyhowardhome.com I especially love hand painted furniture pieces with blue accents. antiquefrenchliving.blogspot.com hersite.info Lovely blue and white 18th century Italian painted furniture. Try your hand a adding some embellishments to the piece you are painting yourself.

It's a wonderful color for keeping a feminine/masculine balance. oldhouseonline.com Blue painted furniture is a look that reflects life's simpler times, bringing back that farmhouse warmth. romantichomes.com eltallerdeloantiguo.com This piece has a lovely blue color and texture that will add real character to any setting. createfindadmire.tumblr.com I adore the soft impressionist blue furniture often used in historic French interiors.

Just a little aging for character. vintagehomeca.tumblr.com toneontoneantiques.blogspot. thingsthatinspire.net Beautiful Swedish Rococo Writing Desk via 1stdibs.com On the high end of the current spectrum is 18th-century Swedish Gustavian painted furniture derived from King Gustav III, who had been dazzled by the court at Versailles. Many of the Gustavian examples on the market today are painted in soft grays, blues and greens. cottageintheoaks.com via Pinterest Furniture that fits the French Country decor has light, muted colors with a darker rich color undertone. cat-arzyna.tumblr.com French country furniture, like this blue painted armoire, resembles the ornate furnishings of the 18th-century royals, but has a look that fits better in the rural French home. via Pinterest You may have discovered a piece of furniture at a thrift store or yard sale that has features reminiscent of French country pieces. Painting it to look authentic involves the proper paint and finish. Study antique painted pieces to see how and where they have aged. For instance a drawer usually doesn't get worn in the center, just around the edges. What causes a good idea or "trend' to become passe and even abhorred is when over saturation occurs and bad DIY projects ruin the whole look. I am afraid this is what will happen soon to the painted furniture trend. Fortunately good pieces will always stand the test of time and if your piece is painted authentically, it will become a family heirloom.

Let me show you why you should never pass up second-hand furniture. I added this cool rust patina with patina paint. WOWZER!
Hello, Friends! Anyone else spending their Summer in 100 degree weather? It's so hot and humid here in Oklahoma City. I have to almost push myself out to the garage to paint during the months of July & August. BA-RU-TAL. I did, however, create a weathered multi colored finish on this vintage wardrobe. Plus, my hats made their staging debut. This makes #2 in my newest Summer series, Coastal Waters. I used all products from the CeCe Caldwell Paints line. The colors I chose are Sante Fe Turquoise, otherwise know as the prettiest turquoise EVER. I also used Windsor Blue and a tiny bit of Pueblo Pepper. For some reason, using just one color at a time seems disappointing, so for now I'm playing with textures and blending. In case you're wondering, wardrobes are so much harder to paint than dressers, buffets or chests. There's a whole lot more surface area but also the large flat surfaces are hard to get a good texture on. If you're a painter, you know the pieces with detail are easier to achieve a worn and distressed look. That red you see is Pueblo Pepper, also by CeCe Caldwell Paints. Here is a "before" image. This piece sat in a store for weeks and weeks. It just needed a new look. Look at that huge copper pot I found last week. I'm storing this on our driftwood bookcase and filling it with Mexican style blankets. I love the imperfection here. The chippy texture reminds me that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Plus, any chance I can make a mess and get away with it is a good thing for me! This piece has just sold and will be headed to a new home next week! If you haven't seen my post on the first piece in this series, click HERE to read. Hope you all are having a fun Summer! ~~Dionne
