Furniture Makeover!

THE BEFORE:

Here’s a shot of the LIVING ROOM CABINET I found in the my treasure hunt. It was the prefect size and added much need storage space to the small LIVING ROOM.  This piece was buried under 2 bedside tables I would later use in the bedroom remake.

THE AFTER:

A little bit of paint and stenciling would do the trick.  I decided to paint the open shelves with the wall paint just to add more color to the piece and stencil in some white to break up the blue.  Above the cabinet is original art I made for the girls overlaying die-cut scrapbook papers that I overlaid on top of each of other.  Accessories were thrift store finds from Goodwill!

Oooh-la-la!  I love a painted floor! Especially when it’s yellow. I found this delight at  Paisley Wallpaper and flipped when I found out the designer made her own stencil out of foam board.  I love DIY decor—and just might barrow this idea to finish off my own painted porch floor to kick it up a notch—but probably not until summer passes as the Florida heat and humidity is mighty vicious this time of year.  Want to see how to do this technique— Click here for the how to’s!  Enjoy!
