This piece was given to us by a friend. I decided to use it for our kitchen, but our whole kitchen is Martha Stewart Tiffany Blue so I went with that color theme. Here's the before:
Here's the after! I love it! I just painted it and then sanded the edges a little to give it a little shabby chic look.
This second piece was more random. I got a school e-mail from a random person trying to sell a bunch of furniture. I didn't see a picture, but just saw that one of the items listed was a vanity and I thought it would be a fun project. So I went and picked it up. I obviously hate how it looked to start out, but I love how it turned out. Here's the hideous piece to start with.
So I painted it black, bought a new knob, and ordered some stripped fabric to cover the seat. I sit at it everyday to do my makeup. I love it!
I'll post before and after pictures of the bench once I finish it!
