What Houzz contributors are saying:
These shades lend themselves well to cottage-style furniture. All it takes to make the transformation is a little sandpaper, a can of paint and a DIY afternoon.
added by Jen Jafarzadeh L'Italien to Color Crush: A Pop of Turquoise
This shade of turquoise feels perfect for a beach cottage retreat. It may be tricky to find furniture in this shade, but painting a small cabinet like this is a simple DIY project.
added by Becky Harris to Bold Color: Yes You Can!
In rooms where walls are white or off-white, antiques collected from the region get fresh coats of cheerful and bright paint. See the rest of this house and learn more about cultural adventures in Newfoundland
"You'll notice chipped paint on some of the furniture," Sooley says, "but everything is pristine and clean, and all of the beds and linens are new." Using these original pieces of furniture and showing off their age help keeps the soul of the houses intact.
Older pieces often have smaller casters and were crafted out of very dark wood tones. Lighten and brighten a vintage cast-off with a bright coat of brilliant blue and give those dainty wheels a bedside post.
If I were going to put fresh flowers in only one room, it would be the bedroom, hands down. No, most of your guests won't see it, but it will make you feel special each time you climb into bed. Next time you pick up a bouquet at the market, snag a few stems to make an arrangement for your bedroom.

I don't know what my attraction is to turquoise painted furniture lately, but I really like this, especially as a focal point among all the white.
