Re-furbish/Re-cycle/Re-design


re·fur·bish

verb
verb: refurbish; 3rd person present: refurbishes; past tense: refurbished; past participle: refurbished;  present participle: refurbishing
renovate and redecorate.

synonyms:renovate, recondition, rehabilitate, revamp, overhaul, restore, renew, redevelop, rebuild, reconstruct;

 Here are a few of my recent 
refurbished pieces:

An old wooden chair that needed
a make over

An old coffee pot in need of restoration

I painted the chair with a mix of grey and white paint and added white stenciling 
to the back and seat of the chair

My hubby worked with several cleaners
to restore a shine to this old coffee pot
(and received major points too!)

I also used the same technique
on an old $5.00 "thrift store" chair



You can just call me the "AFTER" girl
because I ALWAYS forget the before pictures

Oh well, believe me they look 
way better refurbished!!
