Last week I showed you all of the post popular furniture posts in 2013 as voted by you (page views)! This week I thought I would share my favorite furniture makeovers of 2013. Only one actually made it on both lists, so hopefully you’ll see a couple of pieces you missed. ;)
click on any of the pictures to see the original blog post1st Place – Hot Pink and Grey Secretary Desk
This wasn’t a complicated repair or change to the function of the piece, but I fell in love with the pop of hot pink on the inside of this desk. So beautiful!!! 
2nd Place – Navy Number Dresser
Carly was the best to work with on this project! I love the creative liberty she gave me to create this number dresser. The pictures don’t do it justice and I sure would have loved to have kept this one. 
3rd Place – File Cabinet Turned Mud Room Bench
From the day we unloaded this old oak file cabinet I really really wanted to redo it into a hall tree bench. So when Laurie stopped by to pick up a different piece and asked my plans for it, I was thrilled to share and even more excited that she wanted me to redo it for her!! 
4th Place – My Grandma’s Vanity
This one made it into my top 10 list not only because I love the color and look of it, but also because it was my grandmother’s and thus, it holds a special place in my heart. 
5th Place – Navy and Cream Secretary Desk
I must be into a pop of unexpected color in secretary desks this year because this one melts me, too. 
6th Place – From an Old Oak Dresser to a Modern Eye Catcher
This makeover caught my eye as a favorite because I loved how something so old looking became a modern and fun eye catching piece. 
7th Place – Loretta’s Lovely Armoire
This armoire was a fun makeover because just a pop of color and some wooden onlays made such a dramatic transformation.
8th Place – Fern Buffet
I thought this buffet was so ugly to begin with, but I absolutely love the fern design which launched it into my top ten this year. 
9th Place – Grey and Cream Hutch
My great Aunt Alice’s hutch sat in my barn for over a year before coming up with a way to make it come back to life. I really wondered whether I could make it lovely again so it was a pleasant surprise that the transformation was so drastic that it made it into my top 10 and your top 10. 
10th Place – White Chair Makeover
The lines and shape of this chair caught my eye from day one. Then the owner Beth told me I could do whatever I wanted with it. I could pick out any color or fabric and redo it for her. I almost never get that much creative freedom with customer orders so I was thrilled to the gills to play with this one. Mom reupholstered the back for me and I lalalove this transformation. 
Which one is your favorite?? Or did I miss one of your favorites??
Happy redesigns everyone,
Sarah ;)
