I get them from magazine photos, things I see in the store, things I love, but mostly from the wealth of wonderful Thrifty Decor Blogs out there!
I can’t keep quiet any longer (and I can’t personally do all of these projects to share with you) so I am going to share some of my favorite projects that I find as I read through my google reader.
Today is a few furniture Before and Afters:
Beautiful glazed coffe table at Cowboy Phraseology!
Before:
After:
Love this white and stained wood finish from Between blue and yellow
Before:
After:
And another white/stained wood finish on a dresser (that she got from FREE!) from Twice lovely!
Absolutely LOVE IT! I think this has become my new favorite of finishes out there. I had already planned to refinish my guest room furniture (that I have had since I was growing up!) and I think this will the finish I will use on it. Now just to find time to tackle that huge project! :)
What about you? Any great ideas you have seen that you can share with me? Leave them in a comment.
Love the picture!!
ReplyDeleteI want to start,changing the color on some of my furniture at home. But I have no idea what type of paint do i get, and where to get them. please help. I guess regular wall paint in not good on furniture right?
I love that look of the furniture. I wish I had something to try that on and also a garage to do it in. The downside of living in an apartment. Hmm maybe I will keep my eyes open for an old piece to fix up for my boys, white color would go well with Red and blue themed room.
ReplyDeleteI love what you share on your blog, you do a great job!
I have not had a chance to transform my own piece of furniture yet so here are some tips from the nester on how she paints her furniture - http://www.thenester.com/2010/08/painting-pine-furniture.html.
ReplyDeleteI have some furniture painting on my to-do list so hopefully in the next month of so I can share one with you!
Allison, check yardsales, freecycle, goodwill, or craigslist. I plan to start on a "beginner" piece too. :)
