Painted furniture is a simple way to bring a shot of color into a space. You can buy it new or restore an old piece with a fresh coat of paint. We love bright, lemon-yellow accent tables like this Raymond Long Table from Maine Cottage. When used in combination with muted or pale hues, yellow can be a bold compliment to a modern space.
This vintage yellow table from Jayson Home and Garden ($1,495) has a nice mix of old world charm and fresh color.

I've had a yellow coffee table since 2003. It was the smartest DIY decision I've ever made. Don't worry the table's finish had already been messed with when I painted it.
