I can hardly go a week without featuring Before & After
projects.  They're so inspiring and motivating, aren't they?


Dressers like this one can often be found at thrift stores and yard sales:

Before


After
Sweet Pickins
The paint treatment really makes the carving stand out, doesn't it?


A little touch-up paint and a small amount of
fabric made a huge difference in this chair's life:
                                      Before:                        After:               


Look how pitiful this buffet was Before:



And now it's so happy After:
Love the wire baskets!


Wow, what a difference a lighter palette can make:





Every element of this kitchen re-do is perfect:

Before:


After:
Nellie Schmalz
From dark and brooding to light and inviting - Kitchen Perfection!




This bathroom was a little dated but,
gosh, it wasn't that bad Before:
But, the After is spectacular, isn't it?






A patio can provide an extra room,
albeit an outdoor one, to any house.  

Acceptable  Before:


Amazing  After:




Who would have thought that this
little table could be awesome?!
      Before:                                                               After:







The chair on the right is obviously the 'before' of the pair.  It's
almost unbelievable how much more attractive the chair on
the left is after a paint treatment and a toile fabric seat cover. 





Just by looking at it, you'd think that this little
dresser had just about seen it's best days . . . . .




Think, again!






Even though I love vintage furniture,
this velour 70s sofa is a bit much:




This, I could live with! 
 The Brick House






The next time you come across an old light
fixture at a yard sale, give it a second "once-over".




Apartment Therapy
A can of spray paint saved these home-
owners quite a bit of money.  So fleaChic!
