Befores and Afters: Seven MORE Furniture Projects


#1 BEFORE:
A freebie from my church youth house - 
battered, but she has nice lines.


#1 AFTER:
(NOTE: After looking at half a dozen places, 
I think I have finally found the correct baskets 
to go where the missing drawer went! 
Where? WALMART. (not pictured)
I have to buy 3 more and paint them white...

#2 BEFORE:
As spotted at the thrift store:
Ummm - that cushion needed a cover AND some padding. 

#2 AFTER:
With gold spray paint and matching vinyl recovered (padded) cushion:
Jane Jetson sat here. :)

#3 BEFORE:

$5 at the thrift store...


#3 AFTER:
A coat of ASCP French Linen on the whole chair - even the upholstery: 

#4 BEFORE:
As spotted in a dumpster-bound stack from my church storage building:

#4 AFTER:
With only a coat or two of homemade white plaster paint:

#5 BEFORE:
As spotted at the thrift store for only $60:

#5 AFTER:
A cushion-ectomy and applying three .50c mis-tint sample pots of watered down latex paint:

#6 BEFORE:
Dumpster-bound freebie from church storage building:
I have two of these chairs - the other is yet to be painted, but on my to-do list.

#6 AFTER:
Nothing more than a coat of white plaster paint:
A new chair cushion cover is on my to-do list.

#7 BEFORE:
A freebie from...don't hate me...my church. 

First, I painted it silver and aged it, added 2x4 legs (thanks, Mason!) and it worked for a while.


#7 AFTER:

Yes, it got a fresh coat of white. 
If it does not move, and it stays here a while, 
it has or will most likely get painted white.

Do YOU have some amazing transformations 
that might inspire others?
