This image has been at the front of my mind for quite some time.

I mean seriously, the red wall had me at hello. But what really stuck out for me the first time I saw this image was the red dresser against the red wall. I love the modern touch it adds!
If it were up to me, I’d paint this dresser in my living room the same red as my walls, like yesterday.
But this piece is a family heirloom – on my hubs side – and he’s against painting it – and I totally respect that – if it had belonged to my grandmother I wouldn’t want to paint it either.

While I respect that he doesn’t want me to touch this dresser with a paint brush, I still want to slap some red paint on a piece of furniture against the walls in this room.
Ummmm, wine bar, I’m looking at you kid.
Though that might mean changing the knobs.
Or not. I could always go for a full tone on tone look. I don’t know. I haven’t really decided for sure. Right now I’m just thinking……..but we all know where that leads. Painting this piece red could solve the issue I mentioned here too. Hmmmm……lots to think about.
What do you think about the idea of painting furniture the same color as the walls? Jenny just did it with grey, and the results are fantabulous!
Want to know what color red is on my walls? – check this post here.
The curtain panels pictured above are an old diy project involving drop cloths and a stencil – click here for all the deets.
i love the idea! i think it looks really cool and can't wait to see!
