Amy from Junque Chic 5 was shocked to find a leather-top side table for only $10 at a local thrift store. They rarely had good finds, so Amy scooped this baby right up! It’s only major flaw was a gaping whole in the back where someone had undoubtedly put power cords. Using what she had {…Read More…}

Bekah from Country Mouse Tales found this dresser shoved in the back of a consignment store. The price had been knocked down to $15 because it had been there a looong time and no one apparently wanted it. That is… except Bekah!

Upholstered Storage Bench

Catherine from Freddy & Petunia had an old dresser that was so dilapidated it just needed a fresh start as a totally different piece of furniture. In order to reinvent it, Catherine smashed out the drawers and removed the entire dresser top. Catherine’s new design turned the dresser into a storage bench. She painted and {…Read More…}
