Old Wooden Chairs

I bought these 4 chairs for $40 since I needed them for the dining room table.  It was very old.  I can't believe how dirty these chairs are.  I found an old newspaper article when I was ripping the cushion apart. It was dated back in 1923.  I wanted to refinish these and make them look new again.  It took me forever to sand all the veneers off the layer.

Before - 4 old dirty chairs

After -sanded the old layer off the wood and stained with dark walnut color.  I also redid the cushion.

Vanity table

I bought this $25 vanity/dresser/table from someone that is trying to get rid of it, and it came with a mirror. It's a pretty good deal. The table looked scratched up, so I have decided to fix it and refinished it.  I am very pleased with the result of it and have decided to use this ask my desk for my living room.

Refinished dining table

My husband bought this dining table long time ago from a church sale for less than $5.  I don't remember how much, but it was really cheap.  Anyway, I decided to sand off the top and stained with dark walnut.  I painted the rest of it with my leftover paint. 

Round table

The furniture looks really good after refinishing and painting it to different color. I stained the top with dark stain and it turned out really good.

Baby Changing Dresser

I found this changing dresser from Craigslist and I got it for really good deal.  It would have been over $400 at the store.  Anyway, it was white and dirty when I got it, and I have decided to change it to Treehouse Green color.  It turned out much better the original.

Old wooden dresser

I'm not sure how I feel about this dresser. I'm not really liking the color and dark wax that I did to it. Maybe I'll change it to another color. The paint is antique white with dark wax.

After - with all brand new oil-bronze handles

Dresser

I just finished another dresser last week and it turned out better than I expected. Stripping the old green paint of the top of the dresser wasn't fun. It was quite messy and took forever to get it out. I have use the paint color Treehouse on the rest of the furniture and keep the original wood color on the top.
