Dip it!

Add a jolt of colour to your space or breathe new life into a tired piece of furniture by colour dipping it! Dip anything from wooden spoons to stools with this fool proof method of updating and personalising just about anything. Get inspired, dust off your paintbrushes and have a little DIY fun with this easy-peasy project.

Chairs and stools benefit from a little dipping action, and with just a hint of color, can make an eclectic array of pieces look more cohesive. For a simple tutorial on how to re-create this little dip-dyed stool, {click here}.

This sunny tables cape wouldn't be half as cute without a pastel-hued dip. Once a tired set of vintage chairs, these two beauties are now the life and soul of this room.

Don't stop at furniture - give your wooden spoons the dipping treatment with your favourite tones, and watch your kitchen bench come alive. I just love these pale pastels against the pale wood.

Maximise straw baskets with a refreshing dip into crisp white paint, with Martha Stewart's tutorial or get creative and add a few strokes of bold colour to a collection of woven baskets, following this how-to.

Get dipping! I know I will be.
