Modern Coffee Table (60's)

Before:


I really wish I could have saved the top on this table but it just wasn't going to happen. In hindsight, I wish I would have made a new top for this out of solid wood. The legs were so awesome.

I ended up just sanding the top down and painting it a high gloss soft black.

After:

Small Stool

Forgive me for the bad photos.

Before:


Just your average vintage stool. I repainted & reupholstered it with some vintage fabric.

After:

Record Cabinet (70's?)

I was actually with my stepdad picking up a piece of furniture I had bought the day before when I saw this piece.

Before:


My stepdad thought I was crazy for wanting this and just didn't understand.

After:


It ended up cleaning up very well. The bottom shelf turned out to be perfect on the other side so all I had to do was flip that over. With a little bit of paint, gloss, and many failed attempts to put this back together ..(I swear, it was like playing Jenga) it was done.

Tiny Table

Someone at an antique store was throwing this away because it was all chipped up on the top.

Before:


I sanded the top down as best I could to make the chips not as noticeable. Then I added some wood filler to smooth it out. Added some yellow paint and there you go.

After:

Metal Utility Cart

I re-did this for the shop I work at.

I really wish I had taken a before photo of this. The legs were so rusted you could barely see the chrome. The shelves were not much better. After a couple hours of using steel wool, things got a lot better.

This was actually the first time I'd ever really used spray paint so it was a little weird getting used to it. It was just a tiny bit streaky but nothing too noticeable. I ended up using a high gloss bright yellow.

70's Mediterranean High Back Chair

I fell in love with this chair. Idk what it is about high back chairs.. but I like it. Anyway..

Before:


I sanded, primed, painted a glossy aqua, and completely reupholstered (including new larger cushion). I chose a tan canvas with black velvety raised print for the seat.

Deco Vanity Chair

I re-did this for the shop I work at.

Before:




I decided just to clean up the legs a little and use beeswax on them to bring them back to life a little. I reupholstered the seat (with a new larger cushion) and found some fancy looking vintage damask print fabric to use.
