Everybody do the Friday Dance!  (Kind of a cross between the Hokey Pokey and Gangnam Style.)

You know what fleaChic is all about on Fridays.  That's right - Before & After Projects. 

Today's post is a smorgasbord of miscellaneous interesting transformations and they all have something in common.  See if you can guess.


Seriously, only $1?!


Cast your eyes on this whimsical vintage kitchen cart:


Sometimes you just need a single chair
for a desk or to fill a corner:
Before                                                     After


So cute!



Isn't that flamingo adorable?





It's hard to imagine that this lot of
mismatched chairs had potential:

Such a charming idea - the same paint, the same
fabric but each chair has a distinct personality.


Would you have walked right past these chairs?


Oh, my, what an amazing transformation:
Stunning, aren't they?



A humble little cabinet was simply sanded and painted:



An Art Deco desk was silently screaming for a makeover:

Love the new drawer pulls.


Speaking of drawers . . . . . 

A skeletal frame was welded together out
of scrap metal to make a unique drawer unit.


Sandi at A Cottage Muse turned an antique cast iron
oven door into a beautiful architectural accent piece:


Who says a stool has to be boring?


This antique buffet had significant laminate damage:

Paint and decoupaged maps beautifully cover the damage:


Today's last metamorphosis is a beauty:

A black stain added a touch of sophistication to this vintage treasure.

Well, have you figured out what every one
of today's projects have in common?

So get out there this weekend and look for a project.

    I wish I could find the drawers.
    I have lots of old printers wooden type and would love these to put then in.
    I had a box made for them to hang on the wall but it needs some shelve adjusting.

    cheers. parsnip

    I'm always reading your posts but never commenting, love some of the upcycled projects. I love upcycling items and I've just finished changing a table into an ottoman and well pleased with the result! Have a lovely weekend. Sharon
