Chair before and after
This was just a fun quick little project. I found this chair for $5 at the thrift store. Paint and some stapled on fabric and I was done. It now resides in my bedroom and I love it! It's funny how a cheap little chair can add so much to a room. It makes me happy. And when I get sick of the color I'll just respray it and add new fabric and it's a whole new chair. I love it!

Couch Re-do

DIY Coffee Table/Ottoman
First screw in your brackets. |
Then screw on the legs. |
Then we added the glaze. |
And here's what were left with. It was a rewarding project that you can do in a day, my favorite since I don't have all the patience in the world. |
Viola! Coffe table/ottoman. |
Desk Re-do
Here is my pretty little thrift store desk before it's makeover. |
First we primed it with Krylon primer. |
Then we spray painted it Krylon's gloss "Blue Ocean Breeze." The key to spray painting furniture is a million (I'm exaggerating) thin layers. It takes forever but looks really good. |
Then we added a black glaze to make the awesome carved details pop out. |
And of course we always finish off with a coat of polyurethane because it protects it from getting scratched and it just makes it look finished. |
And here it is all finished. Easily my favorite piece of furniture. And I didn't even need to paint the hardware, just gave it a good wash. |

Table and Chairs Re-do
We decided to re-do our Mom's kitchen table. It's been like this for 20+ years, so it was ready for an update. First we had to sand off this reddish/brown stain. |
We liked to |
Now to add a darker stain. |
We decided on ivory for the bottom. We also added on a brown glaze to give it that antiqued look. Coming soon is a tutorial on how we glaze and antique furniture. |
To finish the table we painted on polyurethane to seal and protect it |
Sanding the chairs and getting them ready to paint. |
We spray painted the chairs a similar color as the table and also glazed and antiqued them. We used Krylon primer and spray paint and Martha Stewart glaze. |
Here it is after all the hard work! |
We padded and stapled fabric to the chairs to match the decor in the kitchen. |
Our Mom is very happy with her "new" table and chairs. |
