Pop quiz time! Let’s say you restore furniture for a living. A client comes to you asking for a bright, modern makeover on this set of oak dressers. You want to give her what she asks for, but you can’t stand the thought of covering up all that beautiful wood grain. Do you:
A. Paint it. Give the client what she wants.
B. Stain it. Insist that she doesn’t know what she wants.
C. Quit the restoring furniture business. Go get a job at the zoo.
D. Work your makeover magic mojo and make everyone happy.
I’ll bet you can guess what Sarah at FunCycled did …
Of course she picked D! I give it an A+.
Sarah and her client were thrilled with the results of this ombre stain and teal treatment. And check this out:
Now that’s just cool. I feel the need to go find a bunch of matching dresser sets today.

December 3, 2014 at 7:01 AMNot sure about the second drawer, but otherwise WOW! Love the combination of the stain plus the color. AND a whole set that lines up like that??? A whole wall of awesomeness, or spread it around. Either way it’s fabulous!

December 3, 2014 at 2:51 PMI have been following your blog for a long time – first in google reader and now in bloglovin. About a month or 2 ago, something changed. Now, when I’m “nexting” through all the unread posts on blogs that I follow, whenever I get to your blog, the bloglovin frame disappears and I’m just on your page. I was just curious to see if you knew what changed. If you have it set that way for a reason, I understand, but I wanted to ask because it’s not as convenient as it used to be. Thanks!

December 3, 2014 at 6:56 PMThat is strange! I haven’t heard anything about this before. I also use blog lovin and haven’t noticed any differences. I will check it out, thanks for the info.
