I LOVE THE CHALLENGE

of reviving an old, tired or discarded piece of furniture and turning it into something beautiful and functional. From the moment you acquire that piece until the moment that you finish it, you follow a journey that is full of surprises. Often, the process of what to do and how to do it evolves out of unforeseen circumstances, but that's the fun of it. You never know where your inspiration will come from. I hope you enjoy these transformations, and that you are inspired to take on a project of your own.

FILE CABINET TURNED SERVING BUFFET

OUTDOOR DINING COUNTER

BEFORE
This is a lateral file cabinet that was not particularly attractive, and heavy, and impossible to move on my own.  So I added some wheels, painted it and added a tile countertop.  Wouldn't this be a great serving counter for a screened porch or outdoor dining area?  I used textured paint to give the metal some umph, and the fronts of the cabinet doors are covered with sheet cork.
