This table was in rough shape. And it had trim on the bottom edge of the apron that needed to be removed as half of it had already broken off. I replaced it by glueing individual half spheres along the edge. I painted the whole piece in Melange Solstice. I just love all the details on this piece!

This mahogany china cabinet top just needed a little refresh with Restore-a-Finish, new legs from Amazon, some incredible wallpaper from Spoonflower (pricier than some wallpapers but totally worth it, in my opinion), a top as the previous top was kind of open, and a little black paint. Now it's a completely unique piece and a great way to have a display hutch in a dining room without having a huge piece that takes up the whole wall.

People have been giving me a lot of furniture lately. I know, it's not a bad problem to have. But big, 2-piece hutches don't really sell well for me. So instead I like to split them up and make an enclosed bookcase with the top. I love how you can change the whole feel of it with the wallpaper inside. The legs are from Amazon and the incredible wallpaper is from @spoonflower. #furnitureflipping #furniture #furnituredesign #furnituremakeover #furnitureflip #flippingfurniture #furniturebeforeandafter #paintedfurniture #paintedfurniturelove #ipainteditpretty #istageditpretty #zibrastaging #furnitureflippersofinstagram #smallbusiness #loudoun #loudouncounty #loudouncountyva

I just love how this mahogany buffet turned out! I sanded and re-stained the top and painted the body is gorgeous green! Has the original hardware. Just an absolute beautiful

I love the way this knotty pine armoire came out. Painted in a custom mix of Melange's Perfect White and Nom de Plum, this hutch is so perfect. I replaced the hardware with antique brass hardware from Amazon and added this gorgeous wallpaper, also from Amazon.

Here's a closer look at the big Lane china cabinet that I separated into two pieces. Sometimes I find it hard to sell really big pieces. It seems like people just don't have the room for them. But it is a little bit easier to sell two smaller pieces instead. I love the way these look when separated!

Look at this cutie patootie! A friend gave me this bar cart for free as she didn't need it anymore. It got a major upgrade in gorgeous Polo by Heirloom Traditions paint with this super fun wallpaper in the drawers. And the original hardware shined up beautifully!

Look at this beautiful hutch top, turned into a footed bookcase! This wallpaper is stunning! The finish is a faux finish using a Wood'n Primer with gel stain on top of it.

Some still pictures of the set I posted a reel for yesterday. This table just about killed me. Took a lot of trial and error in fixing the feet and getting the stain right. Pretty much nothing went right with this table. The chairs just needed a little sanding and refresh and new seat coverings.

The fantastic set needed some restoring. The chairs needed new fabric, sanding and some stain. The table, on the other hand needed more significant repair. Feet were broken and the top needed to be sanded and restained. (And thanks for the advice Annie @itsaboutflippintime !!). But now it's back!

Just some stills of the re-imagined Pottery Barn dresser. Before it was a dark cherry and all the metal accents got lost. Now it's a crisp, clean white, ready to be loved again.
Before throwing out your furniture for something new, remember that, with refinishing, the possibilities are endless!

I got this turntable console a little while ago and brought it back to life. Honestly, when it comes to wood grain, I don't think anything rivals the beauty of a mid century modern piece!

Ahhh... a little black paint can be such a game changer. This outdated dry sink is current now because of some fresh black paint and new hammered brass k***s.

I decided to pivot on this Lane china cabinet and use the top and bottom together instead of splitting them up. This piece is just incredible! Truly, one of the nicest pieces of furniture I've ever worked on

A couple days ago I found this china cabinet on marketplace. I knew it had a lot of potential. But when I picked it up, I realized it was made by Lane. It's from the 1970s and is a rare piece in fantastic condition. I decided to clean it and apply danish oil to the body and had to sand and re-stain the top due to quite a few blemishes.
I also decided to separate the two pieces because I think they will be more versatile in two different pieces. I just love the way it turned out! The wood grain on this piece is magical and it's so beautifully built!!! Even the wood inside the cabinets is gorgeous! They don't make them like this anymore, that's for sure.

I picked up this gorgeous Federal style sideboard, on Facebook marketplace. It needed quite a bit of work to clean it up and get rid of years of wear and tear. I painted it in this gorgeous green by Melange paints, called Eventide, lined the insides of the doors in a beautiful wallpaper from Wayfair, replaced all of the drawer pulls and k***s and refreshed the stain on the legs. I just love the way it turned out!

This amazing vintage best car needed a deep cleaning, all of the laminated surfaces needed to be repainted, I, refreshed the finish with a product called restore-a-finish, and then added, a custom made stencil along the bottom. It has so many compartments, casters, cabinets, and a pull out tray! LThis thing is fantastic!

Just look at how gorgeous this sleigh bed is in white. Before it was so dark and heavy. In Amy Howard at Home One Hour Miracle paint, the finish is so durable! Color is Pardon my French.

I picked up a vintage Ethan Allen hutch and decided to turn the top into an enclosed bookcase. It features, new hardware, legs, and a gorgeous wallpaper! I just love it!!

Here's a little before and after of a record cabinet that I picked up. It's vintage Lane but it just needed a little love! I created a custom stencil, added new hardware, Vagabond Blue accents by Melange Paints and re-stained the body with Danish oil

Sometimes all you need is a little white paint and some new hardware to fall in love with a piece again!

I just love the way this sweet display cabinet turned out. It's a custom mix of colors to get this amazing greige. And this gorgeous wallpaper from Spoonflower really finishes off this piece.

I picked up this incredible coffee table that had a huge pull out tray in it. I sanded and re-stained in Danish oil, added so gorgeous blue accents, metal legs, fantastic wall paper and a motion-sensing light and now we have a one-of-a-kind bar!!!

I picked up this piece months ago and finally got a few days to give it a makeover! The wood grain and those legs are my favorite parts!

This table has incredible legs and was hiding a gorgeous wood grain under an old stain. Just love it now!!

I'm pretty sure this piece might be my favorite to date! My nephew got it for free, and texted me to ask if I could use it. It was in some pretty rough shape when I got it but boy is it beautiful now!

I accidentally won this primitive dresser at auction. It was in rough shape. I had to replace the top, the veneer on the drawer fronts and replace the drawer pulls. I used a stencil in the drawer fronts and painted the body Tokyo Black by melange paints

Sometimes commission work is so easy and seamless! I got to update two bathroom vanities for a friend in Melange Paint's Old Soul Grey. Such a beautiful color and the job was a dream, including time spent with an old friend.

These free FB marketplace finds got new legs, a couple of inches were cut off the bottom due to damaged wood, a drop down door was removed, the hardware is cleaned up and they are painted in Oak Moss by Melange Paints. So much more modern now!

Yesterday we decided to tackle a little project (you know, right before Christmas). I love our new accent wall in our family room. ❤️

Aaahhhhh, that's much better! Basilisk Black and a faux finish in gel stains for the wood on these chairs.

I picked up these beautiful Lane Campaign (1960's) nightstands last week. I removed and buffed the hardware, refreshed the finish with Restore-A-Finish, cleaned out the drawers and added h**p oil to the wood on the drawers to bring back their beauty. They are so lovely! Let me know if you are interested in them! They are stunning!

Picked up this piece, cleaned it thoroughly, removed the rotting wood on the base, added new legs, changed out those horrible k***s, added squared wooden dowels to the middle drawers, and painted this gorgeous green. Love!!!!

I took this old headboard and turned it into a side board that could also be used under a mounted television. It's so fun and I love that I could turn something so outdated into a functional piece again.

This piece was a total disaster when I got it. It was free but had sloppy latex paint on it that was peeling off in multiple places. I had to strip and sand, which was a total mess. Many of the handles were broken and the paint that was on them wouldn't fully come off. So I had to replace them.
I painted the body Jett Black, added a wood face to the drawer fronts, new sleek handles and gorgeous wall paper inside the drawers.

Just in case you aren't into videos and would rather see it in pictures. 😊

I updated this sweet French Provincial side table in Mojave Brown by Melange Paints. So pretty!!
