House and Home's Senior Design Editor, Cameron McNeil shows how to revive vintage furniture with a fun paint-dipped look in this February's issue! It looks fairly simple using painter's tape to mark your lines and two contrasting paint colours. After finding your furniture (he found the chair at a local vintage store and the coatrack from Urban Outfitters ), choose your paints, first sanding, then covering the entire piece in the base colour you choose, allow to dry and then tape off the areas of the furniture where you want your accent colour. The trick he says is to not paint the piece exactly half and half, he went only about 2 inches down the back of each spindle to achieve the asymmetrical (or paint-dipped) look. Photo by Kim Jeffrey.

Colour blocking Furniture! Another fashion trend that works just as well in interiors. Thanks for the great idea!
What a fun idea!
This is AWESOME!
Wow, I love this! The chair is spruced up and so fun! Great colors.
Love this! Such a great idea!!!
Katie...follow me ;)
I love this idea! I can imagine so many applications! Thanks!
That is a great idea. And then I'd like to see a chair with more than 2 colors, maybe 3 or 4 doing a similar method. Oooh, I've got ideas now swimming through my head. Thanks!
So fresh! Love it!
What a great idea! A great way to make an old piece new again!
Nice!
i want a coat rack so bad. (well we need one as our coats/jackets are outside the house probably with cobwebs in it already)
anyway two colours used (or what I see) , minimal's perfect.
