It's Metamorphosis Monday time again..
Make sure you stop by Susan's Place
and see what morphing treats everyone
has to share.
As I stated a few weeks ago Jeff and I have been giving our home
a bit of a facelift.
When we first married I had a love for
the country pine look... that has
since changed.. Thank You Jesus!
Now I can't stand the look of it and
after seeing all the
yard sale finds, flea market deals
that everyone in blogland was
morphing and beautifying
with just a lil black paint..
I couldn't resist to fall
victim to the trend.
So here is my next installment of
From Pine To Fine..
An old TV Stand that has the strength to carrythe weight of those big bulky 200 lb dinosaur TV sets.
I really do love the pieces .. just hate the finish.
This one as well as all of the other pine pieces I own
were made by a local man who did this as a hobby.
After washing it down to remove the 10 years worth
of storage dust I sanded it down really well.
Then I primed it..
Tacky brass hardware an all!
I would have removed the hinges but
they weren't put on with screws..
he used nails.
I had bad experiences with nail
removal... So I left them be.
I know all of you folks up north are really gonna hate
me for this next lil bit .. and I do apologize..
BUT.. we folks in Georgia have really been blessed
with some beautiful days the last few weeks
so I've been able to complete a lot
of my tasks outside.
My Handy Dandy Husband picked out
this paint at Lowe's and told me this is what I needed for
my transformation.
I think he knew what he was doing..
because I think it turned out great.
Excuse the walls.. as I explained earlier..
New decor theme for her room is

we're in the middle of that facelift.
This piece will go in Ashley's room..
which is getting a new doo also... and serve
as her new TV stand.
New decor theme for her room is
zebra so I think it'll fit in perfectly.
I hope you enjoyed my lil metamorphosis project,

It looks so great! I love seeing posts where people reuse what they already have. Budget friendly makeovers are my favorite kind. I can't wait to see her zebra room when you are done, it looks like it's going to be so fun and pretty.

ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love seeing all of the budget friendly makeovers. It makes so much sense to reuse what you already have if you can and this really came out great. It's going to look fantastic with that fabric! Kathy
ReplyDeleteDebbie.......what a SUPER makeover! ;) ~CC Catherine from "Catherine de th`e Cups" (Love the black)
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! What a huge transformation.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie! Yes, I love your transformation on this cabinet! It looks great! You did an outstanding job! I would have never know to use a Rustoleum paint on wood. I'll take your word for it. It looks awesome!
