Furniture Makeovers
Old entertainment armoire transformed into a stylish home office!
*They replaced the upper pullout shelf with a fixed painted plywood shelf hung on wooden brackets, which we screwed directly into the armoire's back wall.
*They cut Homasote boards (recycled fiberboards soft enough to sink pushpins into) to fit the back and the side door panels and covered them in fabric secured with a staple gun. Small screw hooks hold each panel in place; you can also simply screw the panels to the corners.
*They swapped out dated brass hardware for pretty (and inexpensive) glass knobs.

Old dresser transformed into a chic sideboard with plenty of storage!
*They gave the whole piece a light sanding, a coat of primer, and two coats
of semigloss latex paint in a pale blue shade on the outside and a deeper
blue inside for contrast.

Out-dated side table with stone top transformed into a bright and cheerful accent piece!
*First they removed the hardware and stone top, sanded the table all over,
and applied a coat of primer.

*For a pull, they threaded a length of cord through the existing hardware holes,
knotted the cord on the inside and trimmed the ends.

*They cut a length of seagrass wallpaper to fit the inset and topped it
with a pane of 1/4-inch glass. Switch the paper to change the look.
