DIY Vintage Vanity Makeover: Guest Project

I am excited to share this project by my friend Rachel G. Rachel and I lived together our freshmen year of college at the University of Tennessee. We were meant to be roommates, both adventurous and colorful. We won the best dorm room for our creative DIY decorations. We had so much fun. Rachel received this vanity from her husband for her birthday. She sanded the peeling imperfections to create the perfect vanity.  She did a great job!!

DIY French Chair Makeover

I purchased these chairs from a restaurant that went out of business for a great deal. I didn't realize what bad shape they were in until I started working on them. I've only done two so far but will admit that I've spent over twenty hours on these chairs.

My transformation began with stabilizing the chairs and glueing. I then stripped the fabric and stripped the hundreds of layers of paint (took most of my time). Lastly, I was able to reupholster, my favorite part!

Revamped Sunnies

I am way too cheap to purchase sunglasses from the mall. I hot the $1 store and made my own funky sunglasses for summer.

Nail Polish

You can use nail polish, spray paint, glitter paint, tape, jewels, stencils, paint markers, mod podge and I'm sure many more things to transform your sunnies.

Carpet Chair Before and After

This project was expected to be a typical chair makeover but it was fun to find carpet (yes, carpet) and straw instead of foam inside the chair. This is a family heirloom for a long time friend. I'm happy to keep the piece alive and in a good home.
