1920s/30s Vanity

I fell in love with this gem as soon as I saw it. The mirror is really the best thing. It's HUGE. and amazing.

Before:




I'm not really a pink person but I decided to try it out on this piece.

After:

Side tables & coat rack

I lost the before photos on these but they were all pretty basic. All vintage. I did these 3 pieces the same weekend.

Small vintage nightstand painted 2 tone.:


2 tier circular tri-leg table painted a turquoise.:


Coat rack painted orange.:

Telephone stand

The before was pretty basic, just scratched up brown wood. After a little tlc and some turquoise paint, I think it came out pretty cute. This little vintage telephone stand would be great as a nightstand or as a side table.

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:
