10 Ways to Redecorate with Paint

I've been searching for new and fresh ideas that are budget friendly. Painting is one of the cheapest ways I know, but I'm not very good at picking coordinating colors. I'm excited to get started though. My husband is crying in his mind.

Our kitchen (redwood) cabinet doors didn't match the original maple cabinets, so rather than get new cabinets, I painted the doors an ivory color and added new drawer pulls. The whole thing cost about $60.00!

Don't forget about spray paint and using it for things like changing the color of old vases, candle holders, decorative trays, picture frames etc. Also, shop the other rooms in your home if you are trying to redecorate another room. Just paint items from one room to fit the next room's decor and voila! It's like new!

First tip: NO COLORBLIND NEON COLORS. The rest of us who live in the house would like to be able to enter the room too.

I hope my wife doesn't see this #$%$ article.

useful...will surely follow these tips soon.

the hot pink room gave me a headach o.O

Thanks for the great ideas!

Well for renters, if they want to paint an accent wall, trim, there are the white textured wall paper you can tack it to the wall and paint whatever you want, just take it off when you leave its saves money and work.

We just painted the bedroom a soft violet, except for one accent wall that we painted a very deep purple. Then we sponge-painted it lightly with the same soft violet and a bit of Martha Stewart silver metallic paint. It's amazing, can't stop admiring it.

After years of working with color, I don't think there is a bad combination. It's all about how they are put together.

I guess there's some symbolism in that photo of the guy's tools being hung on a pink peg-board.

just don't let a monkey in the house. they will fling poo against the walls

What great ideas! I'll be incorporating a lot of these ideas into my gardening shed this Spring. It's exciting planning ahead!!

Pink, Green and black? Color blind?

the title of this peice is deceiving, it should not be titled "10 way to REDECORATE with paint. JMO

Nice colors cept for the black, I sponged metalic gold on raspberry pink in my sewing room, ragged a dark purple on a lighter purple in the master bredroom for a calm quiet effect, and sponged metalic dark blue on a bright blue, I also find painting ceilings to compliment the room color adds drama. It also eliminates the funky look of white ceilings when strong colors are used.

Chocolate brown walls look very nice with white bedroom furniture. It still looks warm and sophisticated. However, I do NOT like to black walls at all.

if you paint odd or anything except for white or off white in a rental get ready to lose your deposit. kilz is too expensive to purchase every time you wish to decorate again. why waste the money. be smart and paint to where it's not necessary to encapsulate or sand large areas of wall's. your guaranteed to lose .

Invite all your friends over, have them get naked, throw paint on them and have them roll themselves against the walls.
