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.

How To Transform a Vintage Dresser Into a Shabby Chic French Country Sideboard

It’s difficult for me to visit a thrift store, estate sale, or garage sale without finding a piece of long-forgotten furniture to take home with me to transform. I even find myself searching through Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist hoping to find that one unique piece. I no longer look at an old dusty, beat up, scratched, or dinged piece of furniture the same way. 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.

Lost treasures!! When I was a little girl growing up in the ’60s, I remember my grandparents having a console cabinet similar to this one.

How to Create a Patina French Country Style Lingerie Chest with Dixie Belle Paint

A few weeks ago Dixie Belle Paint Company saw my painted furniture pieces on social media and reached out to me because they were ‘so impressed’ with my work. 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!!
