The side table in this makeover was a true rescue. Shanna explains why at Restoration Redoux, “A girlfriend of mine was throwing out this table and when I went to pick it up I knew why. It was scratched, filthy and weighed about a thousand pounds!”

At This, That, & Life, Anneke sent her husband out to pickup a couch from Craigslist. ”When my hubby went to go pick it up, the guy selling the couch said, ‘Hey, do you want this dresser and chair? I’m just going to take it to the dump if not.’ Um, YES please!!!” Anneka laughs.

Stephanie of Life Created says, “I had just attended a “vintage” sale and had been gawking the many chalk paint creations: frames, side tables, buffets and dressers…when I decided to stop at Goodwill. I walked around nonchalantly and this pepto-bismol-colored creation called my name.” With visions of chalk paint dancing through her head, she immediately brought it and took it home.

At Cuckoo 4 Design, Julia has done quite a few furniture makeovers, but none of them ever involved chalk paint…until now! She came across this dresser and decided if ever there was a piece of furniture to be chalk painted, it was this dresser.

Karen of Redoux saw this dresser on the side of the road. She wasn’t the first person to see it there, she explains, “I actually saw a truck in front of me slow down, stop to look at it, then move on to find better curbside shopping goodies. Their loss, my gain!” The dresser had a unique design that resembled cottage shingles, Karen thought.

Aimee blogs at The Vintage Estate. She says, “I agreed to take this table sight unseen through Freecycle…I had no idea how hideous it was going to be!” The table needed a makeover in a big way, so Aimee decided she had nothing to lose, so she’d try something dramatic.

Susan blogs at Homeroad. She’s lucky enough to have a neighbor that throws out great stuff. When it came to this bench tossed by the neighbor, “I have red chairs from Crate and Barrel in my kitchen and I thought it would be great to try and match the color of the bench with the chairs,” Susan says.

This morning’s makeover comes from Breida of Breida With a B, who has very good eyesight. So good that she spotted this stool in a ditch, covered with mud, as she was driving. Wow.
