This past weekend we moved a lot of furniture into our house that was giving to us by my parents. My dad was storing furniture for a few years with the idea of giving it to his children when they moved into houses. My mom recently sold her house and will be moving to Florida, so she is also giving us a lot of furniture that she won't be taking with her. I am very happy to be getting some beautiful pieces that have been in our family for decades. Some of the pieces are in great shape, and we wouldn't think of touching them with paint or taking them apart. But others... let's just say they could use a little TLC.
Which got me thinking about how best to make some of our old furniture new. There are many great tutorials out there on the WWW about painting wood furniture, some clever IKEA hacks, and much more. Here are three of my favorite furniture makeovers that I've seen recently.
1. Censational Girl's Thrift Store Cabinet Makeover
Wow! Kate used a sander, paint, custom cut glass, and pieces of flat lattice to make this old piece look like new. Can you believe it cost her a whopping $10?

Claire Zinnecker posted this into a great, modern piece on Camille Styles.
We have some great chairs that could seriously use a new, fancy outfit. Jessica wrote out a step-by-step tutorial here that I am itching to try.
So... which of our old pieces of furniture is up first? I'll have to think about that.
