By now we should all know that even the most outdated and stanky furniture can be revived with a coat of paint. But even I would probably have passed this hutch by, thanks to that super 70’s gold detailing on the glass panels. 

 But Sonia just shaved it right off with a razor scraper and yup, you guessed it, transformed the whole piece into a vision in white. Love the knobs and the print lining the back! Check out the details on her blog Sonnie Sue.

Lauren from Inspire Me redid this lovely chest in a soft turquoise with a walnut oil glaze. It’s now a favorite hang out spot for her dogs. My dogs are not nearly as spoiled! But that’s because they are dumb, excitable little things that wee all over the place the minute they set foot in the house. So they usually stay outside, where the furniture is much less glamorous, and much more likely to get wet … if you know what I mean. Thanks Lauren!
