Hi Friends,
I hope you had a great week!! Another hectic week here at FunCycled with lots of pieces selling and expanding the business by adding some new aspects. I’ll tell you more about those soon!
This week’s transformation was a custom order for Chelsea and Jonathan’s baby. He’s coming in October so we wanted to have the room ready for him in September just in case. Chelsea was fun to work with because she genuinely loves design but also trusted my opinion on some design ideas. I enjoyed thinking through every detail of these pieces. She wanted a tall dresser instead of a long dresser, but also wanted something to change the baby on. I recommended using desk because it’s deep enough and has storage but could be more usable as her son grows. I wish I had thought to do that instead of getting a changing table for my little ones.
Here are the pieces before. I had started prepping them when I remembered to take a picture (they weren’t this bad to begin with. :)
We painted the box with the color Old Navy by Benjamin Moore. If you’d like to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. As you can see with the picture above, we sanded down to the wood on the top where the stripe is and then stained it. Once that was done, we taped off the stained section and painted it navy. After that had been dry for a couple days, we taped it off again and painted it with a creamy white for the stripes.
Ready for the afters?
I love the hardware for this piece because it’s very kid friendly. The handles bend so if a kiddos falls into them they wouldn’t get hurt.
Thank you Chelsea and Jonathan for letting us be a special part of your little miracle’s room. Here’s a quick before and after picture for Pinterest!
Also, if you haven’t already seen it, please check out the post before this one. We put a piece of furniture up for bid and the winning bidder
I also added quite a few other new pieces to the store!
