I’ve always had a soft spot for furniture pieces

I’ve always had a soft spot for furniture pieces that are imperfect, timeworn and storied. Such was the case with this petite French bombe chest. My friend found it for me and told me it was damaged and unsalvageable, having soaked in Hurricane Katrina’s flood waters for weeks. But I loved its story and decided that I would salvage it and give it a makeover, all the while keeping its storied scars! Today, it’s one of my favorite pieces! If you would like to see more details of this makeover, comment “BOMBE” and I’ll send you the link!

When I first saw this sweet French style chest at

When I first saw this sweet French style chest at the estate sale several years ago, I was immediately smitten with it. It was exactly what I had been looking for but….I wasn’t crazy about the yellow, mottled finish. So….I painted it! Comment FRENCH if you would like to see the post, and I will DM you the link!

I found this pretty antique chest at an estate sale this past weekend. It has such a pretty hand painted detail on the front! It’s pretty large, and after bringing it home, it didn’t fit where I thought it would go, so we did some “musical chairs” with the furniture over the weekend!

When you take an old piece of furniture and give it a makeover, you’re giving it new life and possibly saving it from being dumped in a landfill.

Whether you strip it down and re-stain or paint it, neglected vintage and antique furniture can be turned into heirlooms once again.

This antique demilune cabinet had lots of issues when we found it at the estate sale and no one was giving it a second look. Fortunately, I fell in love with its shape and knew that it could be transformed into a thing of beauty! Want see the before? Comment “CABINET” and we’ll send you the link to more photos and details of this makeover!
