One way to keep your cost low when decorating is by breathing life into old things. This cupboard, for example, was my mothers when she was a newlywed, and she so graciously passed it down to me (y'all know my love for antiques!) Seeing that I'm a more colorful person, I decided to paint green stripes on the walls of the hutch. After all, paint is only temporary!
Ps. I'm going through a green phase right now. Do you do that? You're pulled towards a certain color for a period of time? Heellllppppp!!
Back to decorating - the hutch turned out great! Tyler and I went to Lowe's and got a sample of paint from Pantone called Macaw Green. It's a lovely color - not too bright, not too dark. Just right! The sample size was enough, too.
Do you have any pieces around your home that you could spruce up? Buy some painters tape, your favorite color paint (in my case - GREEN!!) and slap on some paint. I guarantee you'll see your old piece of furniture in a new way.
What a gem!! That cupboard is definitely a keeper! I love that you were able to spruce it up with just the sample paint alone. Perfect! I've done that before & it's affordable and satisfying. Looks great!
