Swinging Chair

Here is what I did with a old chair my neighbor was going to burn because it had broken legs. Well for this project I didn't need the legs. It now hangs in my cherry tree in my front yard.

Vintage Desk Makeover

This desk was $5 at a yard sale; old, scratched, and had a broken corner. I repaired it, painted it in two layers, and distressed each time. The details really stand out now!

Reclaimed Pallet Wood Table

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...

    value. And then some, like you have re-painted/stained ect.. and they look absolutely gorgeous. I have an antique walnut vanity and I don't really like the color, it's too dark. I was thinking of stripping it and staining it a lighter color. But, I don't want to de-value it. Any ideas ?
