dezignerwannabe Before & After - my Swedish Mora clock do over - I hope I don't regret it but it needed an update Nov 19, 2009 5:50 AM I was really nervous about re painting this antique clock but there was so much varnish/paint on it that it would have been too difficult to sand out so I took a risk with some spray paint (3 cans) of "heirloom white" and I think it turned out nice!

Casa Community Before and After: Boring China Cabinet to Fabulous Bookcase Nov 10, 2009 9:00 AM Su Casa member LittleLeo recently transformed a dated china cabinet into a fabulous bookcase: We inherited this piece from a friend who was getting a new dining room set. My husband couldn't understand why I wanted the cabinet and not the dining table too. I explained I had a vision for my home office. I sanded it all down and painted it matte black, wallpapered the back, and had acrylic shelves made. It has set the tone for the room and now the "office" doesn't take away from the living room. It actually adds an extra layer of function to the room, at least I think so. To see LittleLeo's finished project, .     Have you made over any furniture lately? Be sure to add photos to our Su Casa group!
hvenbnd Color Board by Inspired Designs! Nov 10, 2009 7:16 AM I posted and earlier entry asking the community for help with picking paint colors. I just could not narrow it down! Finally I discovered Inspired Design. Diane really helped me choose colors that work with my vision, furniture, art and personality. Here is the kitchen in process! All paint is from Sherwin Williams. Here is a link to the photos thus far. http://www.flickr.com/photos/44249767@N05/sets/72157622775397766/detail/
