I have always loved handpainted furniture, and I have a certain place in my home where I want to place just the right piece.

Larger pieces that are tole painted with botanicals, birds, or butterflies are refreshing and attractive.

But a small chest of drawers painted in two shades of the same color can be just as charming.

Hi Arleen, So nice to have your visit and thank you for your kind comment. I love your post and of course I love hand painted furniture and have painted lots during my years at the palette. Can't wait to see what you have planned for a treasure in your home. I know it will be gorgeous.
Love your pics. The bed is beautiful.
Have a great week.
Hugs, Celestina Marie

I love painted furniture. The amoire with the birds, butterflies and vines is my favorite piece...so very delicate yet such a large piece of furniture.
