What a difference Paint makes!

All the golden oak furniture & cabinets are almost all history from my home! WooHoo!
Sure hope it never comes back in style! LOL!

If you remember last fall I redid my golden oak dining table. Gave it a black base with a mahogany gel stained top. It turned out gorgeous! You can see it here. I mean anything was better than that orangy oak! Well, I still had a curio cabinet in golden oak which needed a makeover. So I started the project, but soon discovered hubby would be better at doing this. I just hate sanding wood!
So thankfully hubby agreed to do the job and he finished it yesterday. What a difference paint makes! So happy it is no longer looking dated but current and hip in a lovely black satin!!

Even got some new knobs!

I went ahead and started decorating for fall yesterday. I know I'm a bit early, but the weather felt liked fall and I'm looking forward to fall this year. Guess I had my fill of summer & lake time this year. Have you all started decorating your homes for fall yet?? I'l post pics of my fall decor in a few days. Until then...Take Care & God Bless You!

Would you have passed on this??

Do you have a hard time imagining what an ugly piece of furniture would look like if it was painted and spruced up? I sure do! Some just have an eye to see a diamond in the rough! I need to develop that skill! Holly over at Life In The Fun Lane sure has that eye to see a diamond in the rough!! My mouth just dropped when I saw what she transformed it into and I just had to share with you (just in case you haven't seen it) Way to go Holly!!

Would you have passed on this piece of furniture if you would have seen it at a garage sale or thrift store?? I probably would have!

Now would you have passed on it...if you knew it could look like this??? NO WAY!!! Isn't it AWESOME!!! OK, I'm off to go to some thrift stores and garage sales...maybe even craigslist!
