Furniture Feature Friday

post from The DIY Show Off on 05 November 2009 11:45:00 PM. © The DIY Show Off

I've been wanting to feature Miss Mustard Seed's Creative Blog for quite a while now...she's amazing and I love her Furniture Feature Fridays. (I'm suffering withdrawal too...I haven't been a blog party in forever. Okay a week or so...but that's too long!) It's a wonderful DIY-related furniture party!

She has 35 before and afters posted! I snagged a few to show off. Okay...more than a few, but you won't mind.

Look at this chair she got for free! Some girls have all the luck!

Well...not lucky at first glance. But then she made a slip cover. A project on my very own to-do list! (She claims she'll do a tutorial so we'll hold her to that! I'm going to need all of the help I can get!)

Here is the link and here is the after:

I love it. Don't you?

She is the queen of painting furniture! It's a Cinderella story for furniture. Magical.

Before:

Now: (drool)

What a beauty! I love the color, clever chalk board and beautiful scrolly design!

A foot stool is furniture too, right?

Look at this guy before:

And after his new burlap suit:

Wayne...you're so handsome!

How about this $1 score. Before:

Beautiful after (and tutorial too):

Another table makeover! Before...
And amazing after:
She even wrote up a furniture stripping tutorial for you. What a girl. Talented and generous with giving you a hand.

I love this desk transformation too. Scary crackled before:
Beautiful chic after:
So, what do you think? Are you as inspired to play salon and makeover all of your furniture like I am?

Head over, check out the links and add your own furniture feature to the party! If that doesn't convince you...she's having an awesome giveaway too!

Twice-Cooked Sous Vide Sea Scallops

Sea scallops are my favorite meat, but preparing them can be hit or miss. Since they are so delicate, scallops are often overcooked, and while they might remain sweet, this still results in a rubbery dish.? Cooking scallops en sous vide makes getting[...]
