Check out my makeovers

It all started with redoing a table for our dining room. I had no idea what I was doing but I loved the process. I went on to make more furniture pieces for our home. 

Table Top

Before

I wanted to try decoupaging a piece of furniture, but I needed a dresser with a flat front. I found this piece on Facebook Marketplace. It had a flat front which met the requirement but as an added bonus had lovely lines as well.

Once the prep work was done decoupaging was actually easy. It is one of my favorite processes it really gives a piece a little something, something.

I couldn't believe what was waiting underneath all the years of neglect. Beautiful!

This table was found in an old barn. It had been used as a workable which was apparent from the water stains, various colors of paint and scratches.

The top on this piece could not be saved but the bones were good.

After removing the medallion, I knew I wanted to go modern. I was able to keep the wood on the drawers and painted the rest black.

Dining Arm Chair

Before

I learned a while back to see past hardware you don't like because it can be replaced easily.

Paint, transfer and new hardware: a winning combination.

These chairs were part of a set of eight. I painstakingly stripped six of the chairs and burned myself out in doing so.

It took two years before I could look at the armchairs that belonged to the set. Even at this point I was not able to strip them. Instead, I used chalk paint to create a wood finish. Problem solved sanity saved!
