One of the most beautiful and expensive pieces of furniture for a nursery or any room is a hand-painted armoire or chest. They add a look of luxury, but usually carry a big price tag. There are ways to get similar results at bargain prices. Thrift store finds and old hand me down furniture are a money-saving staple in decorating a home, but they must be refinished with care for a luxury look.

Give Furniture a Hand-Painted Look

Like painting a mural on walls, furniture can be decorated with decals or stenciling, to add images that look like they were painted by hand. Another method to achieve this look is decoupage. An old children’s book is a good source for images – look for classic artists like Beatrix Potter or Dr. Suess. Images can also be found online, or from unwanted posters or pictures. Even fabric can be used. Common and classic images are animals, flowers and nursery rhyme characters.
