Here's my latest furniture makeover. A Goodwill piece I thought had some possibilities.
After I removed the hardware and sanded all over, I went in with the paint. I skipped the primer this time since I was using such a dark color and sanded off most of the old stain. I had no issues getting the paint to stick.
After
I bought these green boxes to place in the spot where the center drawer was. It wasn't really a drawer, it had hinges you pulled down to reveal this little cubby. I decided to leave the drawer front off to give it a more modern take. You could place baskets in here too.
All in all I thought it turned out pretty cute. She went in the Jazz booth on Saturday, so hopefully she'll find a new home soon. It's a good thing she moved to the booth, there's already a dresser I bought this weekend to makeover sitting in her place. Space is limited around these parts!
I hope you all have a super sunshiny week!

Fab piece. If it were mine, I'd change out the hardware with some brushed nickle knobs or handles . . . .I saw a similar one at a yard sale . . .

It's fabulous! :)
Now...I have to tell you that when I read your comment about the black shutters re: slimmer, etc. I cracked up. Laughed out LOUD even. You are HYSTERICAL!
I always love to come by and visit you. I've done makeover of cabinets like the one you did before and I LOVE how they come out. The black is divine....
Oh no...maybe I'm startin' to sway...
NAH...

That should sell fast. You did a great job, Sares!...Christine
It's perfect... You are amazing!!!
Question...Do you paint or spray paint? It seems whenever I use a brush mine gets streaky brush marks. Probably just me. Anyway, I would buy it for sure;)
Sares, you just keep getting better and better. I love the pieces you are finding and the results are just perfect.

Wow. Sares, you are getting to good at this in so little time. Have you bought a sprayer yet? I tell you, you will never regret it. Imagine painting a whole bedroom set in a matter of hours. I see a lot of success coming your way. I noticed too your blog have a new look. It's so elegant, something a higher end designer will do. You are catching fast kid, and it is all good. Blessings, Marta.
Love this transformation looks great, and also the beautiful vintage decor!!!
HI Sares,wow that looks amazing. I love the black for a change from white. I think I will give that a go myself, its beautiful!

Happy Rudolph Day!

My gosh...what quality...are you the displaced furniture repair girl? Keep that hat on...your very good at it!
Hi Sares!!!
First of all, I hope that this comment finds you doing well. It has been forever and a day since I have blogged regularly or even visited my sweet friends! Just know that you cross my mind from time to time and and I miss our regular visits. Sounds like you've been keeping busy too!
Second, I love what you did with the furniture piece...the black is wonderful! I bet someone snatches that up in a jiffy!
Hope that that weather hasn't been too bad in your neck of the woods...I don't think you are quite as used to those extreme temps and dry weather as we midwesterners are!
Take care of yourself,
val

I absolutely love this. You did a fantastic job!
Oh, I remember I had a study desk exactly like this one, when I was in school! :)
My mother had the desk made for me, my mother was always having custom-made furniture, custom-made just for me! :) Made me feel like a princess! :) Reminds me of the time she had an entire bedroom set of new furniture made for me! It was all blue-painted narra wood with huge pink lotus flowers carved into it! :) Everybody always envied all of my custom-made furniture! :)
I like the darker color with it, Sareski! And the green boxes make the new darker color go "pop" :)
Hi Sares: I love what you did to that piece. I have to get the courage to do that to some of my things. I just thing it came out so good. Hope you are doing well. Remember you are loved! Martha
