Makeovers seem to be our thing these days, and I have to say… I’m not mad about it! I absolutely adore taking a beat up, neglected antiques and bringing them back to life! We scored this sad looking wardrobe from a local yard sale. The original idea for the piece was to paint it white, of course! Little did we know, this wood was mahogany and it bleeds through pink. This was our first encounter with mahogany. We used primer and added multiple coats, but still got the bleeding through.
Chair makeover for the beginner!
I still haven’t decided whether Craigslist is my friend or enemy… Kidding, totally kidding! I scour my local Craigslist frequently in search of reasonably priced, sometimes free, furniture in need of a little love! It’s truly amazing what a little paint and new fabric can do to a piece!
