Oh, what a splash of paint can do to customize a home! Ordinary tables, chairs, clocks, cabinets, floorcloths, and more go under the whimsical paintbrush—and emerge transformed into hip, fashionable, and unabashedly colorful furniture and accessories. Anyone can do it: no art training is needed to complete these projects, devised by the owners of the popular Purple Cow store. Their trademark creations will cheer up any space, thanks to the bright hues, primitive and rustic styles, and abundance of plaids, zig-zags, dots, and swirls. Highlights include a leopard-spotted dining table, gingham lampshade with woven ribbon, and pink shutters.
