HOME FURNITURE MAKE OVER!

Switching Gears for a minute.... 

Nightstand Make Over - So I've switched gears for a minute, these are the nightstands in my bedroom....

When my husband and I got married we bought these nightstands, a dresser & a Armoire off of KSL as a package "steal of a deal"...  Anyways they had minor water damage to the tops, and when we first got them i thought one day I'll refinish them...  To say the least these have been needing a fix up for quite some time,  the drawers have worn down to the point that I have to get out of bed to even pull them open. And the tops as you can see I have only added to the water damage....  (Don't judge)... ha!
















FINAL RESULTS- I couldn't be happier (I now don't have to get out of bed to open them)!  Along with my new lamps! (Now you can judge)....

 



















My room is still undergoing a make over. I'm still on the search for the perfect accent pillows to tie the mustard in with the teal...  Also I've been on the fence whether or not I want to keep my $25 "Garage sale" headboard black or paint it cream, and then theirs my dresser and armoire that I still want to paint...  Pictures to come (Give me a few months, or 6)..




Changing Table Make Over!

Here's a sneak peak of my lil' man's furniture make over! This changing table was actually in mint condition, (minus one scratch) so i could have left it as is, however I wanted to add some color to his room without having to paint his walls.
   I'm also in the process of painting a armoire for his room in this same color...  Pictures to come soon!





PAINTING!

I'd just like to ramble on for a minute about painting and how you might think that it looks easy.....  Well it's NOT!  Man i have had my fits with different projects...  I've had a LOVE/HATE relationship with it over the last couple of years!  Don't get me wrong I LOVE it to the point that I dream about it, and i pick furniture apart just thinking of what i can do to it!  But man the prep work, sanding, taping, fixing - NOT FUN!  (Yes that's why i haven't started my entryway Christmas present yet)...  Also finding the right paint color, brand, stain, brushes, etc, etc... AND TIME!  Talk about investment! BUT I LOVE A FINISHED PROJECT!!

UPCOMING ITEMS FOR SALE -

I'm excited for some upcoming furniture that I'm working on... 
  • Small desk-  that would be perfect for a girls room
