Update my old lady look to COOL..
Comments (19)Thank you Marti8a. I recovered the sofas and removed the ruffled skirt and added bun feet. I do not have a before pic. of sofa but it was very country and 80's sea foam green and pink and coordinated with the flowered drapes and cornice. The space is small for today's standards and the newer sofas were so big. I would love to put hardwood in here also. We put it in the kitchen and FR. Here is another before and after pic. Alerit, I agree with patricia43 about classic good bones. Yes I love some of the newer DR sets out there and would love a new set but I think Queen Anne is easy to work with. I think recovering the seats would make a big difference. I would love to replace my armchairs on the end with an upholstered parsons chair. These were the old drapes I had made to match old sofa sorry I don't have a pic of old sofa....See Moreupdate this wall unit
Comments (1)You’re on the bathroom forum. We’ll tell you to put a counter on it, lol. Post in the home decorating forum. Best of luck. But if it was me I’d sell it and get new for my new space....See MoreHow to update our fireplace-suggestions needed!

Comments (5)It really depends on your decor but I will share one technique I've used. I strip the frame of all it's finish and then paint successive coasts of different color paints. After all coats have dried and cured I use fine grade sandpaper to remove some of the paint to varying degrees. This will leave you with a multicolor finish that will often pick up any grain in the wood. Depending on the colors you use the resulting finish can either be subtle or more pronounced....See Moreladybug A 9a Houston area
