When you think of fall colors, what comes to mind? As I look out toward our back property today, I see yellow, orange, green, burgundy, and also shades of gray and brown. Fall emblazons the Midwest with a beautiful array of colors (sometimes bright and sunny, sometimes dark and moody). If you’d love to capture the spirit of autumn in your home year-round, use the projects below to inspire you with creative fall painted furniture ideas.
