Antiqued Wooden Table Reno!

I found this table on someone’s curb and saw the potential to make it something chic!

I painted it an antique white color and then used sandpaper to give it a slightly “worn” look. It would serve great as side table, coffee table, or small dining table. 

If you are interested in purchasing it please visit Etsy.com My shop name is ShabtoChicbyKate!

Side Table Reno!

I redesigned this old side table by painting it with a rag technique and then added mini wooden nobs around sides. 

I found this table for $3 at a garage sale and gave it new life! If you are interested in purchasing it, you can find it on Etsy.com. My shop name is ShabtoChicbyKate!

Completed Chic Chair Reno! 

I refurbished this old wooden chair by painting it an off-white color and reupholstering the seat cushion. 

I replaced the existing pad with a new two-inch thick high quality pad and replaced some of the missing wooden screw covers. I picked a fabric that was bright and happy to give it more of a “modern chic” look.

This chair would work great as a desk chair, accent chair in a living room, or in a girls bedroom, etc. 

If you are interested in purchasing it, I will be listing it on Etsy.com shortly. My shop name is “ShabtoChicbyKate.”

Another Project Completed!

After reupholstering my couch, I decided that I wanted to refurbish a chair for my desk to replace the one from the original set.  So when I found this old dining room chair at an estate sale for $5..I couldn’t pass it up!!

Here’s my step-by-step process:

Step 1: Remove seat cushion. This cushion was nailed into the wood with old nails and the wood was rotting away so it easily popped out with the help of the back of a hammer. 

Step 2: Sand the wood. This is only if you plan on painting over the existing finish. I roughed up the wood with an industrial sized Brillo-type pad. 

Step 3: Paint! I wanted the chair to coordinate well with my existing decor and accessories. Luckily I had left over paint from refurbishing my headboard a couple years ago and in 2-3 coats she was completely reborn!

Step 4: Reupholster cushion! The existing cushion was about a millimeter thick..and very old. So I purchased a new 2” thick cushion at my local fabric store for $20. They cut it perfect so size so all I had to do was glue it to the wooden seat. I had ordered 1 yard of the same fabric I used for my couch (Lovely Lattice Citrine by Waverly) The next step was to line up the pattern of the fabric and center it accordingly. I used a staple gun to attach the new fabric.

Step 5: Re-attach cushion and enjoy!

Thanks for checking it out! XO
