ARE YOU A FAN OF GREEN FURNITURE? – HERE ARE 20 STUNNING GREEN PAINTED FURNITURE IDEAS: DIY INSPIRATION

Hi creative friends, and thanks so much for joining me today on this St. Patrick’s Day roundup! In today’s post, I’m sharing 20 amazing GREEN PAINTED furniture transformations that prove just how versatile green-painted pieces can be. From bold green makeovers to softer sage vintage vibes, each of these makeovers proves that a lovely green piece of painted furniture can make a statement in any room.

For those of you who have been around the #siblog for any length of time, you know I’m a HUGE fan of green painted furniture. There’s just something about green furniture that feels so fresh, and I love how it brings a little bit of the outdoors in. It’s no wonder this beautiful, nature-inspired color has been around for years because it’s incredibly versatile. Whether you’re drawn to deep, moody tones or soft, subtle shades, green has a way of completely transforming a piece and adding that grounded, collected feel to a space.  Today I’m sharing some of the most beautiful green-painted furniture makeovers—each one includes a full tutorial and the exact paint color used, so you can recreate the look with confidence.

Here’s a console table that I have sitting behind my couch as I write this. The gold leaf paired with the Dark Collard Green looks so elegant. I’m still loving the looks of this table I just wish the top was a little longer so I could put a large table lamp on each side to frame the pic I have hanging on the wall. Maybe that will have to go on the list of future projects. 🙂

1970s Olive Wood Green Drum Table 

Here’s the 1970s thrifted drum table my sister Andrea had to convince me to pick up. I used a new-to-me color called Olive Wood Chalk Mineral Paint. Then paired it with a beautiful water-based stain. I can’t believe how many views it got on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube!

KUDZO + COLLARD GREENS PAINTED TALLBOY

I ended up choosing creating an equal parts 50/50 mixture of Kudzo and Collard Greens to create this Juniper green on this MCM dresser. Juniper is a woodsy muted green with gray undertones reminiscent of a walk in the crisp, fall forest that was an Autumn Suzanne exclusive over at Dixie Belle. The ghost stripes really highlight the gorgeous green as well.

EVERGREEN PAINTED WASHSTAND

Here’s the washstand that I refinished with a very different look for 7 years in a row. This version in 2019 was painted in Dixie Belle Paint in “Evergreen” and paired with the stain, was absolutely one of my favorites. This . I’m really sorry I retired this piece… I thought you all were getting bored, lol, but this past Christmas so many of you reached out asking where the Christmas Washstand makeover was. I promise I’ll keep my eyes peeled for another appropriate piece, and we can start a brand-new holiday furniture tradition. And if you’re curious about all 7 looks – you can see them at the bottom of this post HERE!

THRIFT BLANKET BOX

This was last week’s makeover, which got mixed reviews online – especially on the YouTube comment section. But the mixed reviews weren’t on the beautiful Cactus SILK All-In-One mineral paint, but rather the stained base. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. I think they pair really well together!

SPANISH MOSS PAINTED DRESSER

This tallboy was a fun painting challenge because it was inspired by suggestions on FB… and then I amalgamated them all together! It was layered with a few paint colors but this Spanish Moss Chalk Paint stole the show on this piece!

GOLD AND GREEN VINTAGE DRESSER

To create a dark, moody green, I mixed this Acadia Green with some Anchor Black. This is a great example to use the paint you have on hand – don’t me afraid of mixing colors! You can end up with a one-of-a-kind color while saving yourself from buying new paint.

GREEN BUTTERFLY COLLAGE DRESSER

This fabulous piece was created using leftover bits and pieces of transfers/paper, stencils, and this gorgeous Collard Green Chalk Mineral Paint color.

LEATHER TOP GREEN SIDE TABLE

For this traditional side table, chose a new DB paint color called Truffle.  I wasn’t sure if they were referring to a chocolate truffle or a mushroom truffle. The description of this color says  – “Rich, warm, and grounded; Truffle is a deep, earthy brown inspired by aged wood, cozy cottages, and the indulgent tones of hand-crafted chocolate.” I see it. I also see that it has rich earthy green undertones. What do you think?

FARMHOUSE GREEN DRESSER

This bright and cheerful green dresser landed on a magazine cover! This dresser was found in the trash and turned into a Farmhouse Green Chalk Mineral Paint beauty!

EASTER MAGAZINE TABLE

With Easter just around the corner, I thought I’d share this  Magnolia Chalk Mineral Paint for this table. Magnolia is this beautiful spring, delicate, creamy off white. Its a perfect of example of how lovely it pairs with the Olive Wood Chalk Mineral Paint.  Using green paint to hide the rice papers seams, highlight edges or decorate work looks amazing.

ANNIE SLOAN AMSTERDAM GREEN DRESSER

Here’s one of my all-time favorite green furniture makeovers. I love it just as much today as when I first did this makeover back in  2018. It was a layered paint technique with Annie Sloans Amsterdam Green being the super star! I also layered with  Olive and Aubusson Blue leaving little areas (like around the corners of the drawers) with the first two colors revealed. There’s even a little wood left revealed too. You can check out the full tutorial in the link above.

SMOKEY MOUNTAIN GREEN/GRAY CHEST

For this chest makeover, I chose to paint this in Smoky Mountain.– This is a perfect example of how color is so subjective. Some people see gray, some people see green, other see blue! I would describe it as dark gray with green undertones. I used my brush it on / roll it smooth for a ‘sprayed’ finish… or as close as you can get to a spray finish without a sprayer.

OLIVE CHALK PAINTED DRESSER

To achieve old-world-antique-charm, I  painted this vintage dresser below with 2 coats of Annie Sloan’s Olive. After sanding and distressing the final coat, the Olive was dark glazed with GF Vandyke Brown Glaze Effects. Three coats of Varathane Satin Polyurethane was applied for protection – sanding between each coat. The look this created is modern-vintage!

DRIED SAGE DESK MAKEOVER

This green desk was painted in Dried Sage Chalk Mineral Paint along with a few other greens for an artistic Magnolia look!

ACADIA GREEN TALLBOY

Its always fun getting to try a brand new paint color! When I posted a quick video of this dresser on Facebook, one of my followers Tracy suggested I paint this tallboy in a dark green.  Dixie Belle was generous enough to send me their new paint line, so I dug into the box and found this Acadia SILK All-In-One Mineral Paint. This is such a rich dark green jewel tone. It looks great on MCM or modern designs AND traditional furniture as well.

ENGLISH IVY DRESSER

And last but not least, this was a super fun dresser makeover.  I chose to paint this dresser in this English Ivy which is a beautiful earthy forest green with gray undertones. I also used my new airbrush kit to spray the gold stencil design.

I hope today’s green-painted furniture roundup left you feeling inspired to take a second look at all those beautiful shades and hues. As you’ve seen from these makeovers, green is anything but boring—it’s incredibly versatile and can completely change the look and feel of a piece. Depending on the shade, tone, finish, and special details you choose, you can create everything from modern to farmhouse to traditional styles. However you use it, green paint has a way of turning furniture into a truly gorgeous statement piece.

Enjoy the rest of your day. No green beer for me tonight, but I’d love to hear how/if you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the comments down below. 💚

Happy painting!
