DIY Furniture Makeover Projects
1. Antique Dresser with Denim Treatment

Don’t you love seeing the results of other people’s creativity. Furniture makeovers like this dresser always amaze me. Who would believe that an old beat up dresser like this could look so incredible with only paint and a little bit of love?
2. Decoupaged TV Cart Makover

Decoupage is one of the best kept secrets of professional furniture flippers. You can increase the value and visual appeal of almost any furniture piece by taking the time to work in some well thought out decoupage like this. Using vintage looking prints, they were able to look this old TV cart look like a high end furniture store piece. I like this better than much of what I see at Pottery Barn. You will too – the handmade look can not be recreated easily by chain stores.
