8 Furniture Makeovers for Grand Opening Day – Tuesday’s Treasures

Hi Friends!

I can’t believe it’s less than two weeks until the Grand Opening of our store front at 272 River Street, Troy, NY 12180. In recognition of that day, I’m sharing 8 furniture makeovers that we recently finished and all will  be available to purchase at our store! Exciting stuff!!

Before we get started, I wanted to say thank you to all those who serve our country. As the daughter of a Marine and the sister-in-law to a hard working Coast Guard guy, I’ve seen first hand your sacrifice. I know how hard it is for you to be away from home. I know how hard it is for your family when you are gone. Your sacrifice is not taken for granted here and we truly truly thank you for all you do to protect and serve.

I know I normally have a slew of fun stories to share, but we are true workaholics this week so I’m lacking in any fun stories. We should have some fun adventures to share next week! ;) I’ve been feeling so moved with all the blessings in our life. A hard working, God fearing, children loving, wife adoring hubby… two kids that work with us, laugh with us, and fill our days with love… my family who are a huge part of what makes FunCycled successful. My mom has been working on home decor items for the store, my brother Nathan has been busy making custom candles and my brother Jesse is working behind the scenes on web design, signage and is my sounding board. I couldn’t do this without them. I also have a church family  that really is family to us. So many friends (old and new) from church have been offering to watch my kids, help me work, move furniture, feed us. I’m doing what I love every day. I’m not bragging because this is nothing I could MAKE happen. I’m sharing thanks to God for His loving kindness to me. I know I deserve none of this, but am so so so very thankful for all of it.

Ok… 1st up! This mid century dresser had all the right lines but needed some color.2014-09-03_0072We painted the exterior with Valspar’s Vintage Teal and clear coated it for extra protection. The drawer fronts are a mix of different wood stains and paint washes to give this a high end, patchwork style design.

Which was made even more pronounced with a bit of Simply White by Benjamin Moore.

I love the shape of the legs on this table. This one was also painted with Benjamin Moore’s Simply White and it was lightly distressed.

  2. Gahh! I’m so excited for you guys and the opening of your store! You know I’m a huge fan. My favorite piece in this line up is #7! I just love the transformation. Keep up the awesome work. :)

  3. Love 7! Beautiful… Would look excellent in our new guest room!!

  4. So excited about your grand opening and absolutely love all of the pieces you have been sharing. If I had to pick a favorite it would be #4, the desk transformation-the difference in the before and after pics is amazing. Looking forward to seeing you, John and the kiddos at your new store.

  5. I can’t wait to see your store! I hope to make it to the grand opening! Your work blows me away every time! Number 7 is my favorite! Would be perfect for my son’s room! So inspiring!

  6. I can’t wait to visit your new store! We love your work and I am in Love with the red piece you have! Good luck in your new space!

    1. Oops! Out of the makeovers, #7 is amaxing!

  7. I am beyond thrilled that you guys are opening a store!!! I do agree with everyone that #7 is awesome but my first pick is #4. I dig the mid century modern desk legs and the different stains you chose up against that white really contrasts nicely. I love it!

    Good Luck and looking forward to coming in real soon! :^)
