Match Game!
I've taken pictures of the first wave of furniture makeovers I'd like to do in the next two quarters.  Now that the weather has finally broken, I can get out on the back porch to do some painting.  

Here are some treatments I've found on the web that I admire:
Here are pieces of furniture in my home that will need a makeover:
And here are some of my favorite paint colors and fabrics:
I would really, really like some advice on this set of furniture makeovers.  Can you help me match the old with the new idea?  Please leave a comment!

I would say pick 2 or 3 of your favorite colors that go well together, such as light blue, pale green and yellow or light pink, dark pink and pale green. then use these as base colors for the various pieces of furniture; I would have the furniture that comes from the same set have the same base color. That's a good starting point, because you know the pieces will look good in a room together, even if you have a pink chair and a green dresser. Then decide what colors to do the designs with (are you going to use stencils?)--you can do a darker or lighter version of the base coat, or a dramatic contrasting color such as bright red or orange designs on a pale blue or green piece of furniture. Another tip is that black, white and gray look good with any color.

The fabric laminated furniture has beautiful printed designs on them which make the furniture look more fascinating. I have a collection of these furniture as I love shopping of new furniture to have in collection.
