  • Here's the "before" table - I found it by the side of the road, in a neighbor's trash pile.
  • After sanding and painting the table, I added a rag rug to the top, attached with a staple gun and glue on the edges.
  • Rug attached. Hank approved.
  • Using the "rags" from the rug for trim.
  • Glued the trim over the staples to hide them.
  • Trim glued in place. I used a hot glue gun.
  • Finished! It just needs a glass top. The rug top is too flexible to be a table top.
  • Another view of the finished table.

  • This is the dresser. I have had it more than 20 years. I have a matching taller one, but I want to use that for something else.

Painting: Can I use wall paint on old, finished wooden furniture?

I have an old laquered dresser and an old wooden twin bed that I want to repaint for my son's 3rd birthday.

I bought some teal and lime paint from the mis-tint rack at Lowe's, intending on using it on the walls. I also wanted to use it on the furniture so it all matches, but I want to make sure that it is going to stick. I have read about sanding and priming it first, but I would love to know if there is any way I can get around this step without buying any other special paint? ...»

I will try to post a pic later when I get home of the bed. I dont have one right now.

Vintage Painted Table

I acquired this vintage chiroparactic table in 1995. The shop owner told me that it had been painted by a mother of a young son. She had recently passed away. Check out my blog post for more!

Thrifted Dresser Turned Shabby Chic

I'm an avid thrifter. I go out about 3 times a week in search of the gem among the rubble. I've been looking for a dresser for a while now and on my 3rd jaunt to one of my favorite Thrift ...»
Stores last week I found this antique dresser, all wood, and dovetailed. The only flaws were the "dents" the employee said. If he only new......The roughness of the piece adds character. I took it home got immediate color inspiration from a flowered water color like print from a new throw pillow. I decided on doing two tones on the dresser and am thrilled how it all turned out.

Materials Used...

1. Miniwax Water-Based Wood Stain in Green Tea

2. Pantone Paint in the color Nude with a Satin finish

3. Knobs- Hobby Lobby 50% off.

To see the process, my color inspiration and a funny little story about my missing knobs check out my blog http://quirkycool.blogspot.com/2013/05/thrif...

Old Door Headboard - Made for a King Size Bed

We love making headboards out of these old doors - there is so much character to each one of them. This headboard was shipped to one of our Customers in FL. ...»

The doors we use are usually 80+ years old and have had their share of various paint treatments over the years.

These old door headboards make a great conversation piece and are sure to become the focal point of any bedroom.

Keep us in mind if you're not up to doping the trim work and want us to do that for you. We do work with a large DIY Client base that have us do the work and they will add the finishing touches themselves.

Thank you for the business!
