Dining room makeover part two

This is my first before/after post – this was an incredible amount of work – but insanely satisfying due to the amazing transformation! i must say i have impressed even myself! hee hee
so here is the BEFORE:
spend a few moments appreciating the outdated 60′s feel, the chunky look of the wood, the outdated hardware, the brass hinges, the overall less than stunningness of the piece…
i’ll give you a moment to look without talking…

now here is the AFTER:
watch that you don’t gasp too loudly and startle those around you!
take a few minutes and appreciate the stunning paint job – the beauty of the now distressed and antiqued wood, the way the crown molding pops and is a thing of beauty, the classic hardware, and lack of brass – in fact lets take a moment of quiet reflection to appreciate the transformation and my incredible talents.

now…go look thru your house and find something that i can transform for YOU!

Dining Room Makeover – Part One

i am now working on redoing a friend’s dining room. yep – pretty much the whole room – how exciting is that??? it’s a little stressful cause she’s insanely classy and i want her to love it – but mostly it’s just a ton of fun! the first photos are of her PREVIOUS chairs. sadly, her table matched them(tee hee) – but (imagine a little “twinkle” sound here… ) voila! no longer!! the table looks gobs better! creamy and distressed, it’s updated and ready to set the tone for a whole new look!!
watch for:
Part Two – new chairs
Part Three – the hutch
Part Four – window treatments and
Part Five – the whole incredible room!!
and again – let me encourage you to be as wise, thrifty and amazing as my friend by contacting me to rework some of YOUR furniture…remember Thanksgiving is coming up – don’t you want to update your dining room, guest room, living room before company comes?
(or possibly you don’t want your home to be too comfortable or attractive so the company won’t stay that long? completely understandable! in that case – call me the first of the year) hee hee
