Wardrobe, a new life in my daughter's room

Growing up my parents collected antiques and so we always had really cool interesting (and not matching) furniture.  This is the style I gravitate to now.  It always seems odd to me that someone would go to one store and pick out a furniture set, all perfectly matching.  Personally, I love furniture that has more character, life, and memories embedded in it.  One of my favorite things to do when browsing flea markets and thrift stores is to imagine the possibilities a piece has and how I can make it new to me.

Director's Chairs- Second Life

The Pair- AFTER


There is something inspiring about a good find.  Whether it be a garage sale, thrift store, or flea market, giving something a new life always gets my blood flowing.  It usually happens on an early weekend morning. I happen along a yard sale and suddenly I can envision someone's trash as my treasure (or at least latest project).




When I found the Director's Chairs, I knew the project was manageable.  With  a little paint and new fabric, Voila! New Chairs!
