Rainbow Brights

I’ve been seeing a lot of bold and bright dressers and side tables lately. It got me thinking about how much fun a brightly furnished nursery would be. I know that most people go with a soft palette for the nursery, which is a lovely route, but there is something cheery and energizing about brights. I have an old side table that I painted a shiny black years ago. I’ve been imagining it with a fresh coat of sour apple green for my daughter’s room. Paired next to her pink walls, crisp white molding and antique bed I think the green would inject a fun punch of brightness. Let me know what you think of these bold brights.

    I LOVE the Trollsta side tables and sideboards from IKEA! They also come in shiny black or white, but the yellow is so fun! I almost bought the black sideboard for my craft room, but it didn’t end up fitting. It was fun to find something with curvy lines at Ikea! Here’s the sideboard: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90134104

    naturally like your web-site but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to inform the truth nevertheless I will surely come again again.
