Don't let my lack of posting fool you, I was still brainstorming home ideas, and even setting some plans into motion. If you follow me on Instagram {retroranchreno}, you know the wheels have been turning lately.
For example, you guys know I loooove me some Craigslist finds. Heck, more than half of the furniture in our house was probably someone else's at some point in time. This summer I came across two listings I could not pass up on.
The first was a long dresser (and matching nightstand that is still in our basement because I have no spot for it yet)...
This pretty thing now lives here...
And the former-dresser-turned-console I made over has found a new home...
Nope, not in our hallway, but in our master bedroom.
The armoire I made over that used to be in our bedroom is now in the basement. Any locals looking for one?!
The second listing I jumped on was a white mid-century bedroom set. It included a desk, two matching dressers and a nightstand. You only see the desk and one dresser below, because that is all I'm using for now.
I know most of you are wondering where the heck these will go...welp, meet our new "nightstands" for the master...
We like the larger pieces to balance out our large king-size bed...but holy moly, did they need a makeover. From far away, they looked great. Up close was a whole different story....yikes!!
I can't wait to share the transformation of this furniture with you guys!! I had to deal with some new situations I never faced before. The white pieces had a super slick, glossy laminate top on them, and the long dresser had plastic trim on the drawers. I used a new primer and some homemade chalk paint to tackle these issues. Plus, I have some fancy-shmancy hardware to show off that really makes these pieces complete.
Woohoo for being back in the blogging game! Boy, did I miss you guys! :)
