Do you ever feel out of date? No doubt if you have teenagers the answer is a resounding YES! Oh, it might be the clothing that you are sure you just bought a year or two ago (when in reality it was 10+) or the music that you actually know the words to or the phrases and slang that you try to use to be hip, only to be told that NO ONE says that anymore.
Well, besides what you wear or listen to or say, you may have out of date furniture in your life. But, never fear, unlike your Hammer pants or BIG hair this kind of out of date is fixable.
Here are a few things I was able to update with a little paint and wood. Click on links to see the details.
Oh I wish I had a before picture of this--it was hunter green with ivy stenciled on it! Paint and wood added to the back freshen it up.
with paint and beadboard and new hardware.
Replace smoked glass with colorful wood to make old tables new.
So while there may be no help to update your taste in music or hairstyles, try to breathe new life into outdated furniture pieces by seeing what it can be!
I love all of the updates. I see heart pieces all the time!
Thanks Carlene--it is always rewarding to save something!
Wonderful indeed! Could I ask what colour you used on that hutch? I love it.
Lucy, I wish I knew, sorry! It was a few years ago.
Great updates! I really like how you made the heart cut out disappear.
Thanks, covering the heart is key to updating old country pieces.
I really like the ones with more than one color! I've never gotten into painting but I know it would be addictive! Nice updates to all of these!
That bench transformation is really ugly duckling to beautiful swan. Thanks for the inspiration! Pinning to my BENCH LOVE Pinterest board!
