these next three before & afters are all about updating wood- or using wood itself to update a piece.

first up is michelle from oklahoma city, she and her husband found this dresser at a second hand store and thought it would be perfect for the nursery they are working on. their plan was to paint the whole piece but once they realized that the previous owner hadn’t done a very good paint job (the brown paint was coming off with a wet rag and elbow grease) they decided to take the dresser down to its original wood and paint the drawers with nursery-friendly hues. great work, guys!

next up is courtney from kelly + olive. she updated this wooden side table with some fresh white paint and some decorative wood veneer. i love how classy and modern they look now. great work, courtney!


last but not least is designer madeleine eiche of turnstyle. she found this “hideous” coffee table at the goodwill for $5 and decided to sand it, paint the bottom glossy white and then stain and polyurethane the top for a whole new look. thanks for sharing, madeleine!
