Before you pass by that ugly piece of furniture at the thrift shop or garage sale, or get rid of your own furniture, ask yourself how it would look painted. It’s truly amazing how much a piece of furniture can be changed with a little makeover. No matter the shape, style or era of the piece a can of paint and a weekend project can give it a whole new look.
25 Beautiful Gray Painted Furniture Pieces to Inspire You
I recently updated a piece that sits in my foyer. It was painted with teal milk paint for a few years,and it was adorable. But, I’ve been obsessing over gray painted furniture for a while so I decided it needed a change.
For this project I decided to try a paint product I had never used before, and I was very happy with the results. You can see the transformation here:

This is an incredibly nice collection of painted furniture projects. So much inspiration. Pinning.
I love grey painted furniture and have several pieces that I’ve painted in my home. I’ve also altered different shades of grey chalk paint by adding a teeny tiny pinch of green, turquoise, teal or beige in my paints too, or using those as a based coat under the layered grey, to keep the grey colors of the pieces different.
I love all the gray, but I’m kind of bias because our house is gray. 🙂
All the walls are gray, so I’m excited to paint a few furniture pieces a bolder color and whitewash our kitchen table.
