Before and After...


I got this sideboard at a thrift store... Hated the color, loved the size and details.
I brought it home with Drewpy who hemmed and hawed about bringing home thrifter furniture. I believe, "this is what hoarders do..." Was said on multiple occasions. In all fairness, this is when 90% of the house was torn apart, and everything we owned was crammed in places it shouldn't have been. Now that our house is coming together, and Drew can see my vision, hoarding jokes have ceased.... I slapped on a coat of PVA (or drywall primer) because we had just out up Sheetrock. And painted it with a high density foam roller. I painted it Palladian Blue by Benjamin Moore at 75% strength. I chose this color because I had it from a sample paint I used on a previous home. It looked great after the quick facelift, but what really made the difference I think were the knobs.

I got these at Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off. Now I have a unique piece of furniture to hold my printer, book, crafts and business stuff. Perfect!
