Remember this guy?! My 50 buck Savers find? Well he (I’m pretty sure he’s a he) is finally finished! Take a look!
I couldn’t be more happy with the transformation.

In full to partial disclosure, this post technically does not qualify as a Thrifty Thursday post. I paid someone to paint and refinish it for me
…and it was worth it!





























I love it! It is SO beautiful! And you know what? Sometimes it's more affordable to pay someone else to do something because your time is so valuable.
It looks great! I love the color.
I have a crush on your credenza. And one more thing–I adore you even more for having someone finish it for you!
Fabulous!
Wow that's gorgeous! I've been wanting to go thrifting and refinishing furniture and this gives me more inspiration to do so! I love the pics hanging above it too.
That is awesome! I love how it turned out. Absolutely beautiful!
So cute! Now I want to go to Savers.
I want it!!! I love it!!!!
Ooooh, I love that color!
That is such a great piece! It turned out perfect. I love the color.
I totally would have paid someone to do it too after tackling my $50 orange dresser
I just had someone do a blue armoire for me and it was worth every penny!
It's fabulous! There's no shame in paying someone to do something that you don't want to do or don't have time to do. That's what makes the world go 'round.
Beautiful!!!
It looks great! I love the color.
Hahaha! I said the exact same thing that "Whatever Deedee wants" did! It really does look fantastic.
I LOVE IT!
That is so amazing. you can't see the beautiful design until it was painted. And could you have chosen a better color? I THINK NOT!
That turned out so darling! I LOVE it! What a fantastic find and color. Nice job!
OH. MY. GOD! I love love love it and I'm thru the roof jealous of this piece!!! Seriously…gorgeous! What is that colour?? Will you share?
I'm so excited about this post! I have a credenza I've been wanting to paint. Love your color!
pretty carved wood! i LOVE that you paid someone to refinish it for you. way to support your local experts!
That looks great Kam, what a fun way to add a splash of color! PS: I would have paid someone to do it for me too!
LOVE IT! What color of paint is it?
I love that you saw the potential in this piece of furniture. & I LOVE that color. I used a similar color to make my little babe's room POP! Originally it was apricot & orange – then I added the light blue and I couldn't be more excited about it. I blogged about it here:

Wow!!! Love it! Nice find!
Kami,
What a great find! I love the color you changed it to, it really updates it. Seriously, I LOVE it!
Hi Girls! The color is by Kwall,
it's called light aqua #2152
It's gorgeous! I'm so envious! I want one!( stomping foot in tantrum)! Can you share the paint brand and color? I have what I believe is a tip somewhat related: I stumbled upon a site, after wanting a $2,000.00 craft/kitchen island from Pottery Barn-a free site called : Knock Of Wood.com where the woman drew up the plans and posted them for free, along with many others. I think it's awesome. Another woman posted her daughter's room make-over she did herself using free wooden flats(?) from shipping area of store. Check it out!
OMG! Gorgeous, just gorgeous! What a find! A true diamond in the rough. Love the blue and definitely worth paying someone to refinish it.
