Decorista Trend Spotting: painted red furniture

This weekend I have been up to lots and lots of projects.
Repainting furniture has gotten the best of me, I'm hooked.
So, lately I have been noticing bits of red catching my eye.
I know we all took notice of this gorgeous apartment in Lonny Mag.
The red console dresser in her hallway did not go unnoticed by moi. I fell instantly in love with the glossy redness of it. I love the drawer with tons of jewels packed in. Ooh la la.
Makes me want to repaint something red, STAT!

The red is fab. I love how the trend of painted furniture allows you to salvage and revitalize old items.

I love the use of red maybe because I'm into Feng Shui so I notice it. I love seeing it used as an accent or saturated but it has to be the right red, not too orangey.

Nice trend spot, Ashlina! I love pops of red as an accent and painting pieces like this is perfect for it!

No wonder it's a trend-it looks FANTASTIC!!! I just painted my antique cream desk a red/orange instead of being trash it's my treasure!

I absolutely love red in life, but find that I rarely, if ever, use it in my home! What's my problem?? These pieces are randy!
