I’m excited to share my 50 dollar thrift store find? It’s finally finished, take a look! I couldn’t be more happy with the transformation.
I wish I could say this was a DIY weekend project, but 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!
Emily says
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.
Whatever Dee-Dee wants says
It looks great! I love the color.
Tiffany says
I have a crush on your credenza. And one more thing–I adore you even more for having someone finish it for you!

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.
Erin says
Beautiful!!!

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!

heather says
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:

Phleurdillee says
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!
Margot says
OMG! Gorgeous, just gorgeous! What a find! A true diamond in the rough. Love the blue and definitely worth paying someone to refinish it.
Mindy Cox says
Would you be willing to share who you used to refinish your project? I’m looking to refinish several pieces and I love how your credenza turned out. It’s beautiful! So is the rest of your living room!
kami says
I wish I could remember the name of the place my neighbor took it for us. Do you live in Utah?
Joy says
Do you mind sharing what brand and type of color used for your credenza? I love it!
kami says
It’s aqua from Sherwin Williams.
