These painted furniture color inspiration posts are sure to provide tons of ideas for your next painted project!
Hello, dear friends!
The weather is warming up (again!lol), and I’m getting that itch to paint, paint, paint. Gosh, it’s hard to want to do anything when it’s freezing outside, in the garage, everywhere. Let’s just hope the warmth is here to stay; it’s been so back and forth this winter/spring.
So, to gear up for some of that and provide some color inspiration for your next painted piece, I thought I’d reshare this series I did a few years back. You know how things get lost here on the blog. The “blog” hole! haha Never to be seen again! Well, it seems like that sometimes. I do try to bring old projects back out occasionally, but I need to be better about that. So many good ole projects here, almost 14 years worth!
And uh, as I started to pull them all up to post in here, I realized it wasn’t just “a few years back”, it was SIX years back. Wow. Time flies.
GREEN
Green is so fresh and lively. It feels like a new beginning. Like spring.
The word that comes to me when I think of green is: RENEWAL

YELLOW
Sunshine and stars. Big Bird and school buses, too, but hey, both of those provoke a feeling of happiness.
So, of course, the one word that comes to mind when I think of yellow is: HAPPY

PURPLE
Purple was my absolute favorite color growing up. So rich, so deep and beautiful. And my birthstone!
What’s the word for purple that comes to mind? ROYAL

RED
Admittedly, not my favorite. Red feels too bright, harsh to me. But I know some love it!
My word for red? INTENSE

CORAL
Coral is such a joyful color to me. Another “happy” one.
I guess the word that comes to mind would be JOY.

PINK
Pink, another one of my favorites growing up, and hey, even now. Just take a look at my blog’s colors. 😉
The word I would associate with pink is probably SWEET.

NAVY
I love blues, especially dark blues. Like purple, they are just so rich and elegant.
However, the word that comes to mind when I think of navy blue is: REGAL

AQUA
Hello, love.
Yes, no surprise this is one of my favorites! (again, take a look at my blog’s colors) I adore aqua in any shade. It evokes such peace.
The word that comes to mind is: TRANQUIL
Click here and delight in all the lovely, aqua makeovers.
BLACK
I feel like black makes a statement. And should be used sparingly.
The word I think of for black is: ELEGANT
Click here to see more of the black makeovers.
WHITE
Okay, I love white, too. It’s just so crisp and clean. It feels open, airy… and inviting. Plus, it goes with everything.
The word that comes to mind for white: BREEZY
Weird, I know, but I just see white in a summer home, white sheer curtains blowing in the breeze.

And here’s an addition I did to this series a few years later:
OFF WHITE
I love off white. It’s white’s softer sister. Another one that goes well with everything.
Hmm, the word I think of is: COZY

I hope you all enjoyed this little revisit to the past. This is such a great series and such a good source of color inspiration; I wanted to bring it back to the front.
PIN the colors you love above to save them for future inspiration ideas!
Happy almost April, friends! Hope you have an amazing week!!
