Good Morning! Are you ready for a quick before and after? We're over at Country Chic Paint today talking about how we transformed this ratty scratched-up-door-fall'n-off changing table/dresser combo..
** I received Country Chic paint to complete this furniture makeover, however the opinions and thoughts expressed here are 100% my own.
A Seventies Intervention
Oh good golly would you look at this?! You may have passed up a bedroom set just like this at a garage sale. What, why!? You don't think it's pretty? ;) Okay, you're right. It's hideous but ah, come on... it has the bones to be love-e-lee. We're going to transform this bedroom set into something spectacular for just $25. Yep, you read that right. Twenty-five, one dollar bills. With just a little paint, this bedroom makeover is going from drab to fab!
Take a gander at the hardware. They are exquisite, but they get swallowed up in the existing wood finish. Care for a close up? Friends, they just don't make hardware like they used to!
They also don't make wood like they used to. ;) I'd rather fix up an older all wood set any day then shell out $$ for a new set that may or may not contain particle board.
We unscrewed all of the hardware, grabbed a paint brush and some Country Chic Paint in Vanilla Frosting and went to work. After two and half layers of paint, we gave it light distressing and put it back together.
And Voilà ! In no time at all, a new bedroom set was born.

In our home, we decorate with LOVE and PURPOSE. Every Halloween we pull out old Halloween photos of the kids from years past and use those to decorate our house. It's meaningful, it's cheap, it creates GIGGLES and it allows us to reminince old stories. I needed to add some new Halloween picture frames to our stash and decided to up-cycle some frames that I already had instead of going out and buying new ones. And I'm thrilled to try out one of Country Chic Paint's new colors... Fireside.
I gathered up my old frames, painters tape, a chevron stencil and Country Chic Paint in Vanilla Frosting, Liquorice and Fireside and opted for a mix of bold patterns with some solids.
Here's putting it altogether...
