Nothing spells good taste than painting. And realistic painted designs are the way to go if you want to improve your home. Brazilian artist Argina Seixas paints anything from pots, bowls, jars and dishes to indoor and outdoor furniture, with captivating real-life models of plants, flowers, fruits, animals, sea creatures, birds, or insects. Using this method, old tables, chairs or armoires can be refurbished into impressive and artistic pieces of furniture. Walls, floors or even clothing and curtains can also be painted so as to bring the nature back into modern life. The eye-captivating and very colorful models are the best way to use if you want to give a new spark to an outdated and dull object.
