Hi Friends!
How are you? We moved out of our house this weekend and oh my word, I don’t want to move ever again. We are living with my parents for a week while we wait to close on our new home. The thought of lugging boxes and furniture all over again, when we move into the new house this weekend leaves me feeling overwhelmed at best. Check out this REALLY SAFE way the guys decided to move my piano from the upstairs.
Moving aside, I’m so very excited to get into the house and have fun designing. It’s going to be a 200 year old gem.
This week’s transformation is a fun one! Amy came to us because she had a lot of her son’s nursery furniture, that was well made. She wanted keep the sentimentality of the pieces but her son had definitely outgrown the nursery furniture. She also wanted to have the furniture redone in a way that could easily convert to a guest bedroom when he moves out.
Here are all the pieces before.
We wanted it to have a rustic feel by incorporating barn board. Also, Amy wanted to turn the bookcase into a desk. That was the fun part! We painted all of the furniture black. For the headboard, we attached a board along the back to connect both ends of the crib. Then to give it a more mature look we added barn board on the centers of each section.
We also painted the dresser black! If you’d like to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post.
The bookcase was so much fun! We repositioned the shelves and John built the desk top and legs from the same barn board. It easily inserted inside and then we attached it to the shelf with a couple of screws from the underneath side.
Here are some quick before and after’s for you to pin on Pinterest. ;)
