I take unwanted furniture and give it a new fabulous life.

04/30/2024

I finished this quite awhile ago, probably last summer. It got set aside and forgotten about.
I finally got it out and took pictures.
It is a very sturdy stool/sewing cabinet or for that matter...anything storage stool.
Painted in Midnight (navy) by Fusion Mineral Paint.

*Donated*
My son and I found this on curb mart and it was destin to go to the re-store. It was in good shape and didn't deserve to die in the land fill.
I had a weak moment and a vision and this is the result. I had stripped down the legs and sanded (what felt like forever) but there was soo much bleed through I ended up painting.
It is a small squatty table that would be perfect for an apartment. It is painted in a creamy whitish colour and the top is paint washed.

I updated these vintage nightstands a couple of times. They were used by me for a few years and then put in storage for even more years. I decided that they needed to be given a brand new life and I scraped and peeled my original redo down to the original surface.....and I'm not kidding....I scraped for an entire day. (I had decopauged a craft paper to all the surfaces and can attest to Modge Podge's durability 😁)
They are now ready for even more years of service.

These nightstands were a pain in my posterior, nothing seemed to go right. They started out as a desk. It wasn't vintage or spectacularly made but I persevered and this is what I came up with.....
They are painted in a very light beige/cream colour called Daylight. The drawer sides and interior is Lichen by Fusion Mineral Paint.

Eeeeeee!!!!! I love how these 1960's end tables turned out!!!! I found these at a junk store in Georgetown and made my friend stand beside one while I took the other to the cash.
This is my favoutite era of furniture to work on.
I did have major creative/painting block with these.....I stared at them forever and actually had them finished in another colour with the shelf a stained wood. (the top is the ever popular 60's arborite) I hated them!!
I perused Fusion Mineral Paints colours and this colour Everett won. My neighbour walked by while I was taking the pictures and commented on the beautiful colour....phew, I chose correctly.

The power of paint.....
Last weekend I purchased these tired 1970s end tables. I mentioned it to a co-worker and showed him the picture. He said he has a set of brown ones his wife wants him to throw out.
I then showed him a picture of a pair I did last year. He in turn showed his wife.
The next day he told me he is now not allowed to get rid of them....his wife wants them painted and she already has a spot picked out for them. 😁

These were a vanity that I took apart. They posed more of a challenge then a normal vanity re-vamp because the sides had rounded corners. (picture included)
I stared at them way longer than necessary because I changed my mind so often.....but they have turned out nicely and have already been spoken for.

This is an exceptionally well made piece of furniture. It did need a makeover and I hope I have done it justice. It is all wood construction and I would date it 1940's or early 50's. The drawers have curved sides and even that wood is top notch. The wood was stripped of its dull blah finish to reveal the most gorgeous walnut ever!!! I sealed it with a wood oil so water will just bead up if there happens to be a spill.
It could be used as a chest of drawers or maybe an entrance table or large bedside table.

These skinny nightstands were a vintage maple desk that I took apart. They are very plain considering what I usually get up to with my makeovers, but I have been told to just list them as they are. Not everyone wants extras. 🙂

You may remember these from the beginning of the summer. I decided to go a different direction and I must say I'm loving them more than when I thought I loved them before. 😊
It was a solid wood Krug Brother's vanity, from the 40's, that I took apart. The wood is gorgeous!! The tops are walnut. I have sealed the wood with an oil, my favourite sealer for wood.
The hardware is the original beautiful brass.
It is painted in Coal Black by Fusion Mineral Paint.

I really enjoy re-vamping old and forgotten furniture. Unfortunately with the way the economy is going my hobby/business is very, very slow. I do get it. People have to eat, buy gas and live somewhere rather than buy pretty furniture.
I am still going to work on the things I have but at a much slower pace.
That being said, these are 3 projects that are being worked on a bit at a time.

This is the only project left from my summer 2022 refinishing and painting projects. (Just bringing it to the top of my posts, still available)
Every once in a while I do a piece that I think I really need to keep...but that's not practical for my families well being....😁
This has been stripped to the original gorgeous wood and sealed with a wood oil.
It's original purpose was a cedar chest but it would be perfect as a coffee table or entrance bench.
