Furniture Makeovers!

My house has been full of little table makeovers! All of the littles tables are at the Store in Redwood City, or you can check them out at CreateWithCynthia.com under the “Furniture for Sale” tab. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just leave a comment below.

This cute little end table with a drawer was a Trash to Treasure. A broken drawer had it left on the side of the road. I used Re-Design with Prima Decor Transfers with Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint in White Swan. You can watch my video and read the post about Decor Transfer comparisons here.

One of the Vintage Side Tables (above) sold and I have one left. It’s been painted in Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint in the color White Swan and an Iron Orchid Designs Decor Transfer was cut and adhered to the top and bottom shelf.

This two shelved table looks similar to the Vintage Side Table with Magazine Holder makeover I showed off on my Watch Me Wednesday, Episode 1 Video on You Tube. You can watch the video here.

I have a new video coming out soon on these cute little table/nightstands above. Originally I was using them in my boys room, but when we moved from the Woods back to Town they just did not fit quite right in their room. You can read that blog post “Home Makeover Projects in a New Home” here.

I hope you’ll stop by the store in Redwood City at 615 Woodside Road, Suite 3, for all of your paint and paint supply needs as well as the furniture makeovers you’ve seen here.

Now go out there and create something beautiful!

When It’s Time to Re-Paint that Furniture Piece.

I was reading emails this week and ran across Sharon’s post, “When It’s Time to Re-Paint that Furniture Piece,” and it made me think of exactly what happened to this “Vintage Side Table with Magazine Holder.”

Vintage Furniture!

I picked up this Vintage Side Table with Magazine Holder a couple months back at the Good Will here in California. It was a dark walnut wood stain/color and I loved the spindle features and all of it’s character. I’m always looking for places to store my favorites books and magazines, and so I was thrilled to get the piece. I think it was an awesome price of $6.99!

I originally painted it all white with DIY Paint White Swan and then did a colorful look on the top which was similar to the Feature Wall look. You can read about the Feature Wall here and watch the video here. Although I liked the colors in the table top, I just felt like it did not go with my vibe.

After reading Sharon’s post, it was such a relief to know that I’m not the only one out there that paints a piece of furniture and then paints it again. It’s exactly what happened to my Vintage Side Table with Magazine Holder. I just couldn’t get pleasure from the first makeover.

In Sharon’s case, I don’t think she was unhappy with her project, “Coffee Station Sideboard” she just decided to do a make-over again and again and again. Read the post here. I love watching Sharon, from Australia “Breath Life Into Old Furniture,” because that is exactly what I love to do. You can check out her website here.

Here is the Recipe of Products for the final project, Vintage Side Table with Magazine Holder. If you want to create a similar look, you can shop online at CreateWithCynthiaShop.com.

Although I originally planned to keep this cute and sweet little table for my own home, reality is my home is pretty full of furniture at the moment. The Vintage Side Table with Magazine Holder is at the Create With Cynthia Shop in Redwood City, California and for sale. If you are not in the Northern California area, you can go online and purchase it here.

Note aside: For directions on how to adhere an Iron Orchid Design decor transfer, you can watch the video, “Old Record Cabinet Furniture Makeover” here.

I hope I have inspired you to go out there and create something.

Make it a great day!
