The easiest way to give dated furniture a major boost is with a can of paint, and while I love a soothing pale paint with a distressed finish, it’s summertime and I’m feeling a little more spicy than rustic pastels. Today, my inspiration pics today are all about making bright, bold statements with painted furniture.

This precious grouping of painted beauties can be purchased from Maine Cottage, but I see no reason why a paintbrush and a free Saturday can’t turn a few thrift store finds into the perfect dining set. Bright, cheery and oh so simple.

Who’s up for a pop of pink? My hand is raised sky high. Check out this fun and flirty hot pink dresser paired with bright yellow duvet.

And who says you have to cover every inch of wood? The volume was turned way up for this dresser when a few stripes came onto the scene.

More of a neutral lover? Take the lead from this serene resting spot with a pair of poster beds decked out in a yellow finish. I’ll take them both.

And, finally, nothing screams summer quite like pineapple. Need I say more?
