How to Transform a Thrift Store Find into an Exquisite French Country Style Lingerie Chest

How To Transform a Vintage Sofa Table Into a French Country Entry Table / Kitchen Island

Happy New Year everyone! Now that the Holidays are over I’m back to searching for unique pieces of furniture to transform into stunning one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork. My first stop was our local thrift store. I can always count on finding at least one piece of furniture to take home with me. As soon as I enter the thrift store ~ I put my blinders on and head straight to the back of the store where all the furniture is located. If I don’t stay focused, I become easily distracted by all the isles filled with miscellaneous items for sale.

Instead, envision something special ~ a piece I would take home and lovingly and meticulously transform into a one-of-a-kind beautiful piece of art.

They wanted to know if I would be interested in trying their paint and products. If so, they would send everything I needed to complete a project–FREE OF CHARGE–right down to the brushes. I just needed to let them know what products. If I chose to paint a piece they would feature it on their social media pages ~ Facebook (160,000 followers) or Instagram (30,000 followers). Well–of course I would!!
