This is a five dollar stool that I bought at an auction. Although it was in desperate need of refinishing, it was structurally in great shape. It had a gold vinyl cushion! I wish I had taken a picture of it when it was in that condition! Here it is primed and then painted black with gold accents:

I bought the demilune table below at a local antique show. I think I paid fifteen dollars for it (they were asking thirty). I originally refinished it but there was a point about a decade ago, that I looked around our home and decided that I had too many antiques, too much dark furniture -so I decided to update! I sold some pieces and painted others. This is one of the smaller pieces that I kept because I liked it's shape and it's details. For now it's silver with a black glaze.
Below is a re-designed tray. I am currently working on a DIY tutorial for this project, stay tuned!

| German Cupboard |
Okay, no fancy finishes here! I simply painted this old German cupboard a light mocha color. Actually, it's called Thomas Everard Coffee a Williamsburg color by Martin Senour Paints.Check out: www.williamsburgmarketplace.com for authentic historical color inspiration.
If you have any questions about how I finished any of these projects, please ask away! I'm happy to share my techniques. Also, feel free to let me know what you think!
