Sad to sensational vintage secretary hutch makeover - by Postcards from the Ridge
Transformation Tuesday! One of my favorite transformations is taking old and outdated furniture and giving it an updated look and new purpose. Paint is an easy fix to refresh and give new life to an otherwise drab piece. Really, it is ok to paint wood! Now, I'm not talking about painting over a beautiful antique piece that has a value, but the old worn out, chipped looking ones. These pieces just need a little TLC and possibly some modifications to make them work for a new purpose. If it has a good structure and interesting details are the key elements to consider when repurposing or refreshing furniture. We all have those furniture pieces that have been handed down to us from family, usually something no one else wants! Often, when buying a first home, the daunting, and not to mention, expensive task of furnishing the place can be overwhelming, so utilizing any gifted furniture pieces is a good idea. For instance…I think every ones parents or grandparents had this china cabinet in their formal dining room. Well, just look at the possibilities here! This piece can be used in a kitchen, bathroom, hallway or even a playroom to store books and toys. Re-think the purpose that these pieces in the rooms that need storage. Wall paper or fabric make a great accent on the back of these furniture pieces! A wall paper was used here also to give the plain drawer fronts some interest and texture. From drab to fab in just a frew brush strokes! Two classic chairs become one great bench! Old dining room chairs get a new look! We removed the arms and completely upholstered the host and hostess chairs for a softer look. The frames of the remaining four chairs were painted in an oil base paint for durability. Extra seating is always needed! I love how this transformation has a dual purpose! I've repurposed and reworked many pieces over the years, some more than once! The trick to using hand-me-down furniture is to not use them in all in the same rooms. If you do, you end up with a mish-mosh of a room design. Think of how each piece will function in different rooms, then make a choice of what pieces work best in what rooms. Then you can decide on a color scheme and design for the finished piece acording to the rooms design. I hope you enjoyed my furniture transformation favorites, and are inpired to think outside the box for your next furniture project. Until next time!
