At Junque Chic, Amy was thrilled to come across two matching nightstands at her local thrift shop. They were just the way she likes them: sturdy, but in need of a new look.
Artsy Nightstand
April 9, 2013 By
Reeves explains how she got a free nightstand at The Weathered Door: “ I got this nightstand when I bought a dresser… the owner threw it in and I was not going to pass that up.” Since it was free, she felt brave enough to try something a little different from her other furniture makeovers.
Bar Cart Becomes an End Table
April 4, 2013 By
Tranae, who blogs at Becoming Fabulous, tells us, “Over the last two years a rusty old bar cart has been sitting on my patio. It belonged to my grandmother so throwing it away wasn’t an option. Instead I decided to give it a little TLC and bring it back into the house.”
Lamps from Wallpaper Printing Rollers
March 21, 2013 By
Add Restoration Redoux, Shanna has been working on a really unique project. She explains, “I got these strange rollers with lamp bases attached at a yard sale for a dollar a piece. Turns out they were originally from a wallpaper company in Sweden from the 60′s. They were dipped in ink and then printed the pattern on the wallpaper.”
Pie Safe Transformed
March 8, 2013 By
Here’s a fun makeover from Christy of Planted and Blooming Girl. She found this pie safe on the side of the road. Even though Christy thought it looked just awful, she reasoned that it was solid wood and free, so there was no risk involved in trying to give it a makeover.
Blue Coffee Table Makeover
March 7, 2013 By
At Namely Original, Emily says, “We found this table on the side of the road. It was ugly. I told my mom no, but she said yes so we brought it home. I thought it was beyond fixing, but I know better now!”
70′s Dresser Becomes Media Console
February 23, 2013 By
Jaye from Just Tryin’ to Make Cents of It All tells us, “We needed a TV Console for our new TV and I just knew I could find something at my favorite thrift store.” She found a heavy-duty dresser (circa 1970)that probably came as a matching set with a groovy waterbed.
Garbage Day Chair Makeover
February 1, 2013 By
At Fiveorite Things, Nicki tells us, “I was driving into work and spied a crappy chair that someone had put out for garbage pick up. I just new I could bring it back to life! So I threw it in my van and brought it home.”
