I found these Adirondack chairs at a garage sale and paid 7 dollars for both. I sanded them and Adam painted them. We wanted something besides the camp chairs we have to sit outside and watch Chloe play in the pool. Here is the before and after pics together.
I also found this raw wood coffee table that opens on top for storage.. and believe me we could use the extra storage space. Our house is getting smaller and smaller I swear! So adam sanded and
stained them to match and bought giant clavos to add to the piece. Kinda like the ones on the raw tables at restoration Hardware. So we sold all of our Ikea furniture in our living room and moved them on in. They are very masculine peices, and not exactly my style, but Adam loves them and is happy with them, so we will keep them for now..

I don't have a before of the entertainment center but it was the same color the coffee table was.
I aso painted this sewing table in a cream color and distressed it a little. I like the way it came out. I have been needing a table for my sewing machine and I like the little details of this piece.

We got rid of our Scandinavian designs night stands and I bought these pretty babes. I have a thing with blues right now (tiffany blue, grey blue.. I just love it) So I painted it and distressed it and now they look like..

Leah your awesome! I need to come visit you and go garage selling with you! Garage sells here just aren't as good. I love every single one of your projects!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brandi! We would have such a blast going together! I also find great stuff on Craigs List, but Craigs list is great and so organized here because it originated here in the bay area.
