My 1st Makeover Project
My first makeover piece that I sold earlier this year. I purchased this piece on ebay for 1 euro-yes!! 1 euro-which was $1.53 at the time! We drove about 30 mins away to pick it up and disassemble it-my husband is convinced that the seller is the one who got the bargain-having 2 people come and haul it off for less than $2. I beg to differ- I got a super deal and no one can convince we otherwise!!!So after months of sanding and painting, below is the finished product that a lovely young lady purchased and I hope is now enjoying! More makeovers to come, as I get the time!
My 2nd Makeover Project
I purchased 2 identical beds in France and redid both. I kept one for my daughter. I stripped the original finish and completely sanded it down
The footboard is unique with its curved feet and both head and footboard have carved flowers
The finished product-I added a shabby chic wreath applique and painted it in a soft, creamy off white color. After several coats, I then distressed it to give it that time-worn feeling

Whoever got that gigantic piece is exceptionally lucky. I would have been so tempted to keep it - especially after doing all that work! And I love the idea of adding the wreath applique to the headboard - very chic!
Hi Chloe, I'm making the rounds of the paint party, just a few days late :o) The armoire is fabulous, and fabulously huge! And the bed is lovely. I'll be back soon to read some of your more recent posts.

Wow...that huge shabby chic armoire/chest is unbelieveable. What an amazing job you did. Gorgeous!
Wow! I loved your first makeover project!! Do you know what that kind of cupboards are called? Do you know what style it is, and in what time period such cupboards were made?
love, love, love it <3
