Dream Bright: "Paint the Bed" Inspiration

So as I mentioned in the last post, I'm very seriously considering painting the new bed some bright colors (with white trim). I'm not crazy about the current dark finish & it does need to be refinished- so ruining it or destroying value aren't my concerns for this piece.

Trim would certainly be white, and I'm thinking a grass green or bold yellow would be smashing for the panels! Jesse doesn't 'get it' when I describe my plans, so (without sketching) I thought I'd share some of my inspiration...

This has that wonderful bright green and the white trim (although in this case encasing red).
A definite 'look' I love.
I think this was from Apartment Therapy- apologies for no credit!

Talk about FUN!

I LOVE these two (minus the graffiti), and they're my final push towards painting I think. I adore the vibrance and wit- but toned down a tad for my house.

Much more girly than I'd like- but you get the idea.
Ok... this is just a perfect example- only paint instead of upholstery.

I like the bed dark but I think it would look great painted, too. I love those little yellow and green dressers!
