notable hue BY SHERWIN-WILLIAMS “A calming blue brings peace to a highly trafficked mudroom where two kids and two dogs are constantly in and out. It’s like the sky on a clear day, and seeing it on the cabinets and the window is a breath of fresh air.” —Jenna Gross, Colordrunk Designs, Decatur, GA winter chime BY DUNN-EDWARDS “Aqua has an energizing effect that evokes diving into a pool, perfect for a client who wanted a bright area for doing laundry.

A is for angled brush Sometimes called a cutting brush, it easily covers corners, edges, and everything else. Nylon and polyester bristles work best with water-based paints, the common choice for furniture projects. (Oil-based is for surfaces that get wet, like a kitchen table.)

PAINTS Tuberose and White Flour by Sherwin-Williams C is for chalky paint It’s popular with DIYers for good…

Cedar can be oily, and its color may bleed through paint, so you’ll first need to use a stain-blocking primer, says Connie Holden. Teak, rosewood, and burled wood are prized varieties that may be worth more unpainted. Not sure of the type of wood? Check the piece for a manufacturer stamp and do an online search. “But at the end of the day, if you want to paint the wood, paint it,” says Connie. Whatever look is most valuable to you is what matters. Do you like the overall shape? Sometimes, people get caught up in the excitement of rescuing a find…
