Need a mid-Winter pick-me-up? Tired of same old same? Me too. The clean lines of mid-century furniture can lend themselves to color nicely, and adding a little paint can take a piece out of the 1960s if teak isn't your thing. Take a look at these vivid mid-century dressers for inspiration.

I have a 1960s piece myself — it's in good condition, but the vibe isn't right for my house. I can't decide whether to give color a go, or Craigslist it in the name of history.
