I have a love affair with red.
I am S-L-O-W-L-Y re-doing my son's room.
I love the vintage, Ralph Laureny look for a boys room with red accents. Most of the furniture has been re-painted. If you want to see a glimpse you can check it out here. One small painting project was to paint a chair I found on Craigslist for cheap. I wanted to paint it red - so off to my favourite paint store - Benjamin Moore! They know me quite well, so they have given me a great discount! Can't complain about that! I chose a beautiful red, Caliente, from their new Aura line (paint and primer in one!) You can check out another project I did in my son's room using Caliente here.

I absolutely love how it turned out!
This project is going to join the many other inspiration projects at:
Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch

I love red stuff! I don't have anything red in our main living area, but our master bedroom is red and khaki. And I read in a House Beautiful or somewhere once that adding one red piece to a room really livens it up.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!

Love it!! You can;t go wrong with red!!!
ReplyDeleteCUTE, I love a red chair!
ReplyDeleteI also love red. I was brave and put it on the wlls of my kitchen and my powder room. I chose a brick sort of red. It's kind of clay or brownish red but I like how warm it makes the rooms feel. I have some pics of it on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you...I absolutely love the way it turned out too! The color is perfect! No wonder I am already following your blog! It's because I love your style. Come & visit & tell me what u think of my project this week.
ReplyDeleteWe just bought these same chairs on kijiji. A set of 4. I cannot wait to paint them for my dining room. One of the colours we have picked is similar to that red, but each chair will be a different colour. My husband thinks I am in sane :)
