Red Painted Furniture

Here's a couple more 'asian/Horchow' inspired pieced--a nightstand and a little jewelry box. Both match the chest of drawers below. I like the red, but I think most people preferred the light turquoise color previously used on the other painted furniture. Is it because our school colors are red? And people are tired of it? Too bold? Hmmm.

Furniture Re-do.

I got these two crappy little furniture pieces down the block last night for $15.00 apiece.

The 'chest on legs' is real wood and it will become an oriental-inspired chest someday, but I must change those hideous legs.
The golden one is real wood, fake crapwood (What kind of tree produces that?!), slick formica on the top and plastic 'fancy' front legs-yikes. The seller actually said, "ya know, ya might sand off that paint and they could look like real ivory!"--NOT.
I might faux silver the legs and top, paint it antiqued cream and robin's egg w/crystal knobs...then again, I might get crazy and paint it like a Klimt!

Now I just have to get inspired....good thing I can 'pre-plan' through PhotoShop!
