Colorful Mix and Match Table and Chairs
Furniture from Brazil
Mix and match is very different from “Matchy Matchy“, a term that Shira coined in one of her early posts on Tchochkes. I believe in combining unique styles with unusual color combinations. This works best when the colors are balanced within their color groups, like these multi-bright chairs in the room setting above. Although the chairs are mix and match, they coordinate nicely with the artwork and decorative blue trim.

Here’s another variation on the theme, the painted table ties the whole thing together. This look is perfect for furniture that needs a face lift… a little bit of cleverness can paint you a rainbow.
I love colorfull painted furniture but it’s not to popular in Israel. Venga (very dark brown) seens to be the color of choice here. Maybe it’s on it’s way and will get here soon.
Why wait? You can paint furniture yourself to achieve this look. Flea market finds are the perfect pieces for this project!
I paint everything that I get my hands on…
