neglect.

Wow! I am terrible at updating lately. Here are a few of the projects I've been working on lately- some for friends and family, and some GREAT finds that are for sale over at Konstantine Designs.


This was one of those amazing finds I was speaking of. I am HORRIBLE at taking before pictures. I really do have the best intentions, but I just get so excited that I forget and then... well, hence no before picture.This was your regular old, outdated, dark wood nightstand. In need of a good clean and some paint. I got this at a yard sale for $7.00 . Yup, true story. Painted the body a beautiful glossy turquoise, and the drawer faces a slate gray. New hardware, and BOOM! Gorgeous nightstand. It is killing me not to keep it. This is a SALE piece.


 

 
This one I actually managed to take before photos of! I got this lovely chair from the same yard sale. For $3.00 . How can you beat that?! This beauty got a nice glossy black on its body, and a new paisley patterned fabric on the seat. This project took 30 minutes, and look how gorgeous it is, now! This is also FOR SALE (sadly for me!)






































Next was a table for my best friend in the whole world. She had inherited these outdated Ethan Allen table from her parents, when they updated their decor. She wanted something fun with a bit of pop in color.




















No staging on this one... oh well! Gave the entire table one coat of this amazing red and then coated all but the drawer face in black. I did this so that when we did the distressing, red would peek through.


I am working on some amazing chairs for our sun porch, which I am so excited to share with you!  They involve sewing, so they are taking a bit, but the transformation is going to be insane.


What are you working on?
