Is this a thing everywhere? Why all the blue paint?  

It's a shame I blame pinterest, & Anne Sloan

There you go..spotted this one on my local kijiji (Canada's Craig's list)

'upcycled'

Ick I must turn away before I act upon this sudden urge to commit suicide
 
Blue is the "color of the year" or some bullshit

BLUG. 
Don't forget seafoam green, ok?

It's an epidemic. Happens everywhere.

Actually, 2015 color of the year is "Marsala"..... hehehehehe.

I have to say, those arent as bad as the milk paint shabby chic abortions littering our local vintage shops. I believe this color is called "kitchen scale"....

thats awful.

If anyone else is wondering what color marsala is, here you go. Whoever owns that last dresser is in luck, it appears to be on-trend for 2015!

Marsala?  I always thought of that as "mucous membrane pink".  (Really, i have.  For years and years.)
Gray is big, too.  Or mabye it's on its way out and blue is new gray?  I don't know.  I blame Apartment Therapy.
Someone took this dresser with what was very likely the original white enamel paint job and decided to do something really...um, innovative??  Commenters raved about the gorgeous wood grain that she uncovered.  The two wood colors are on purpose.  She stained some of the drawer fronts but left the paint-grade birch unstained on others.  I don't know why.  I confess to a morbid fascination with the whole thing--the project, the comments, all of it.  

spanky, now that takes the faux reclaimed wood look to whole new level.

I see a ton of blue around here. But this is new...

come to columbus GA, home of script intials of your name on cars and everything else as well as this up-cycling junk and also very little mid-century presence
 
there is a new and used kich vintage store here, that i kid you not, has a large space for the venders to soly do this painting stuff to furniture and even offers classes!!!!
