Glad you stopped by. Enough small talk, let's get started:
AFTER 
Here's another night stand transformation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before & After doesn't necessarily call for a
drastic change. The paint on this chair was
fine, the fabric just needed refreshing.
You know how excited you get when you run across a great blog devoted to Before & After projects?
Well, prepare to be excited. Meet Kristy of 4 The Love of Wood:
Kristy's mission is to salvage any piece of furniture that has even a glimmer of promise.
New 'feet' and a paint treatment
completely changed the look of
these night stands.
Stop by Kristy's site for more inspiration and photos of amazing renovations. She truly is an artist.
Today's post is pretty much what fleaChic is all about - giving new life to discarded or dated furniture
and decorative items. Economical and imaginative - it's so fleaChic!

Just about every department store (i.e., Walmart, Target, Big Lots)
sells similar TV trays quite inexpensively.
What a nautical difference!

What started out as a simple exercise in writing and design quickly became addictive and I'm thinking of fleaChic all the time! Check back often because the Before & After projects seem to be the most popular topic on the blog. Really appreciate your stopping by! -- Jan
