Favorites & a Winner!

There were a lot of wonderful furniture posts last Friday, so it was tough to decide, but I have a feeling it always will be! These are some of my favorites this week.

Jen from A Shopoholic Mom’s Aqua Coffee Table. I just love the color of it and it looks gorgeous in that room! Well done!

Ashley Busy’s Refinished Dining Room Table. This table was scratched up by their cats and she really gave it a new life. And everyone knows I’m a fan of dark wood tops and painted legs!

Shellagh from Ticking & Toile’s Slipcovered Loveseat. She did an amazing job on this piece! I love the piping and pleats. Slipcovers are not easy, so I really appreciate the work she put into this one. It turned out lovely.

Stephanie from The Vintage Glitter House’s Mustard China Hutch. I LOVE the yellow she chose for this piece. It looks fantastic with the red and white dishes in it and against the red walls.

And the winner of Ruby Moon Design’s bracelet is…

Karli from Rocky Bella’s Turquoise Chest of Drawers! Karli, you did a great job on this dated piece. I love the color choice as well as the gold details. Very regal!

I made over this chest’s twin (see pic below) and I like yours so much better than mine. Maybe I’ll have to paint it again!
Everyone did a great job! I hope we see a lot more furniture makeovers next week. I have another neat giveaway lined up for the winner.
