Favorite furniture makeovers from the internet

Posted on 12:47 by Unknown

I've got decorating on the brain these days. Here's my routine lately. By day, I work on client graphic design projects until 7 or 8. Sometimes when I walk to the kitchen to get a drink of water, I get stalled staring at blank walls for five minutes, trying to figure out what to do to them. I force myself to snap out of it and get back to work. At night, I eat supper, put on a fun TV show in the background, and surf the internet for furniture, art, and decorating ideas. I should be heading out to meet new people, I know it. But work is really busy at the moment and by the time I wrap things up for the day, it's later than I'd like and I'm tired.

Want to see some fun tutorials I've found during late night browsing? Maybe you've come across them already, but they were new to me.

Shown above: how to spray paint vinyl chairs at Little Green Notebook. Jenny transformed a nasty thrift store chair into this black and white beauty. I love it! Find tons of interesting DIY projects on her blog.


Check out Taryn's pretty white side table transformed with paint and an old trellis she found in her yard. See her steps at Design, Dining + Diapers.

Mari of crab + fish emailed me about one of her DIY projects, and while poking around her site I found her gold nightstand. At first I thought it was spray painted, but no. That's gold leaf! Learn how to transform your own table right here.
