Dining Room Set Makeover

I was given this dining room table set from a neighbor. I had it for several weeks before I got the energy to paint it (I'm currently 5 1/2 months pregnant and it's 98 degrees here in Florida). 

The chairs were horrible looking. When I ripped off the fabric from the seat cushions I realized the original fabric was orange velvet. The set is solid wood so I knew it was good quality, and it's from the 60's. 

I painted everything white and then distressed it. I bought new fabric from Hobby Lobby. The pressed wood/partical board that held the seat cushions in were almost all broken and cracked. So my handy dandy husband cut all new seat cushion things with plywood.

Farm Table

I actually found this very heavy, solid wood farm table in the same yard that I got the desk from (Just on a different trash day). 

Once I cleaned off the table and picked all the dead spiders off it it was ready to paint. The top of the table was veneer so keeping it natural wasn't an option because the veneer wasn't in great shape. I decided to paint the whole thing white. 

The family that bought it own an old farm house so they're trying to use old furniture that coordinates with the house.

Coffee table Re-Do

Roadside rescue alert! I found this solid wood coffee table on the curb one day on my way to work. I managed to get this beast into the truck while wearing heels and a dress. 

 It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, but someone bought it to put on their screened-in pool cage. It definitely looks like a Florida-type outdoor piece of furniture.

I found this gem in the trash:

I painted it white:

Then painted an anchor on it:

I am a firm believer in the power of paint!!!!

Orange table makeover

I was asked to paint and distress a table for a friend. He chose the colors to match his house.

From this:

To this:

This is the table before I distressed it and added the painted knobs. I love the distressed look and I think it makes a huge difference in a piece of furniture:

 This is how my friend used it in his house:
