Repurpose your old furniture.

what to do with that dresser you have had for so long or was given to you by Grandma. Yes in their day they were beautiful but they just don't go with your style. The armourer below was just old wood nothing interesting. You actually didn't even see it in the room. With paint some marble faux finishes  and a motif of their family farm this piece became a focal point of the room and also a cherished family heirloom.http://www.pinterest.com/pin/17873729746749220/

 

 This piece of furniture was painted black when I found it but after looking at it I could see flowers and fairy's. I used bright colors oranges and yellows to bring  out the ribbons and flowers,

This was a plain brown dresser probable from the 30's. I really wanted to make it look like a row house from some old city that lived in my imagination. I could imagine myself becoming tiny and walking through the door. Parking my bike out side; just there for a visit.
