21. Re-hab 10 pieces of furniture (1.5/10)

I'm going to count this as a 1/2 completion

because I painted these before I started the list

but I did "finish" them by replacing the cushion.

These cute foot stools were scavenged from my neighbor a few months ago.

I was taking the trash out before work one day and caught her right as she was throwing them out. I had to argue with her a little before she handed them over. She was convinced they were junk and told me that they were older than I was. This may be the case, but with a quick glance you can see that they are NOT junk!!






As was the case with the bed side tables, these babies were used outside, so already had most of the sanding done.



I painted them with some left over teal spray paint, and replaced the old cushion with prettier ones from Pier 1.

21. Re-hab 10 pieces of furnature (1/10)

Last year, the BF's step mom, Megan (who is also taking part in the Day Zero project) handed over these cute, retro/tiki-ish side tables.

BEFORE

She used them outside on her porch for a few years, so when I got them they had already had a good ol' fashioned desert sand blasting.

AFTER

I covered it (I have 2 but have only finished 1) with a few coats of a dark chocolate stain, and then painted the trim pieces a bright teal.

When I get the other one finished I'll try and post better pictures of the both of them.
