Before and After Furniture

There is an upscale place out her in NY that had a little mail table painted like that and they wanted $400.00 for it. I'd say you did very well.

I go out there a few times a year, I could print those out and give the owner your info if you wanted. :)

Thanks! I appreciate you thinking I could sell that piece in an upscale store. When my daughter had her boutique we wanted to keep the furniture moving, but it is very hard to find good solid wood. The sewing cabinet belonged to my husband's mother, so even though I re-purposed it, I wouldn't let it go. :)

Very nice! I love older furniture. They don't make furniture like that anymore. My husband keeps nagging me to get rid of our bedroom set and I refuse. It is old as dirt and grey with black details--but I love the curves in it and the design! Gorgeous! You did such a great job repurposing that old furniture, it has new life now. :)

Isn't that the truth of it! I've wanted to buy new bedroom furniture, but like you said, they just don't make furniture like they used to.

I was given an old desk that I painted a high lacquer black and attached ornate, gold drawer pulls. Love it! The new stuff doesn't interest me as much as what I can do with something old!
