The Drawer That Became a…

In my trolling the back alleys of Birmingham daily travels through the city, I come across some really cool things that people throw out…because they are slightly broken…because they are out of style…the list goes on and on.  Recently I found a 4 drawer chest that had suffered just such a fate.  On closer inspection of the piece, I realized that the legs of it were completely shot, due to termite damage, and I knew that I couldn’t use it.  But, the drawers of it were all intact, and quite beautiful, with carved details.

So, I grabbed them and stored them in my high tech workshop on our front porch, until I could decide what to do with them.

One day I was in said high tech workshop on our front porch, looking for a new project, and I saw the drawers.  They called out to me, as most furniture does, and told me what they wanted to be…well, at least one of them told me what it wanted to be…the rest are proving to be quite indecisive.  I overheard the drawer on the top right, saying that it wanted to be the next mayor of Birmingham, or a cashier at Walmart.  So I grabbed the one and set to work.

First up, I took it apart.

I stared at it, and then I asked it, “Are you sure that’s what you want to be?”

“YES!” the drawer cried out to me.  “Use your skills and make me into something new…and useful…and beautiful!”

“OK,” I said, and performed my next step.  I cut out a decorative curve on the two original side pieces of the drawer, and left the back piece in tact.

Any idea yet, as to what it wanted to be?  An entertainment center?  A vanity?  The next President of France?

Once the pieces were cut, I began the assembly process, and the piece started to take shape.

If you guessed, a three sided box, you would be…a big fat loser, wrong.  It wanted to be a shelf…with pegs to hang things on…like Longerberger baskets.  But it would have been nearly impossible to hang anything on the original pulls, so the next step was in order.

I wanted 4 pegs, so I measured and drilled 2 more holes.  Then I added some knobs that I had found (savvy readers will recognize them as the mates to the ones that I used on Greg’s buffet redo).

I had given Greg, the best of the batch, and I was left with the crap the ones that were a little rough around the edges.  So they would have to be painted…and they were…in a glossy black finish…but later.

I knew that I would then have to address the issue of the top of the shelf.  I had used the original back from the drawer, and the dovetailing holes were visible, and that made it look like a piece of crap was not up to the Clif Creations high standards.  So, I set the project to the side until I could find something to make into a new top.

I mean, really!  Would you want something that unfinished in your house?  I didn’t think so.

Fast forward a few days.  The gods of the thrifty and cheap smiled upon me I got lucky and found just what I had been looking for…another piece of crap a piece of wood that would be just the right size.

I have no clue what this was, in its previous life.  A high tech skateboard?  A sliding barn door in a fairy house?  Whatever it was, it was going to serve my purpose quite nicely!

I cut it down so that the overall size would have about a 2 inch overhang on the three sides.  Then I glued it into place with Gorilla Glue and clamped it until it dried.

I knew that I was going to be using this in our den, which the hubs has designated The He-Man Woman Haters Club the man cave, and that meant that it couldn’t be girly and rustic chic.  OK, maybe a little rustic chic, as I tend to sit in there with him, from time to time, and I LOVE rustic chic. 🙂

I stained the top with a cherry stain, and painted the body with white chalk paint.  Then I lightly distressed and waxed the wood, and added the knobs, and it was complete, and ready to be hung in its new location.

Styled with Longaberger baskets from my good friend, Robin (she gave me about 30 of them…WOOT!  WOOT!), tarnished platters that I found this weekend at a yard sale, and various chotchkes from the thrift store (the hubs collects vintage clocks).

The Three Chair Bench

In my wanderings on Pinterest, I have come across several examples of benches that people made out of dining chairs.  There have been a few that I really liked, and so, a few months ago, I decided to try my hand at making one.

I started off with 6 chairs that I had found in the alley.  Three were complete, and three had decorative pieces missing.  So, I used the three that were complete.

I had originally planned on painting them white, and using them for our dining chairs, but had changed my mind.

I kept two chairs intact, and took the front and side pieces off of the third.  I then glued the back piece to the center of the whole chairs, using gorilla glue and tape.  While this dried, I screwed three wood screws into each of the bottom, center legs.  Unfortunately, this was pre-blogging days, so I didn’t take a lot of photos during the process.

I then cut down a scrap piece of the center chair to use as a brace for the center, front.  I attached this using L brackets on the inside of the bench.  I then cut pieces of plywood to make the new seat and attached arms that I salvaged from another chair.

The wood was then covered with batting and upholstered with white fabric.  I didn’t like this look, so I made a slipcover out of a Ralph Lauren sheet.

At this point, I got tired of working on the bench, and put it in our storage shed.  Fast forward to this weekend.  I got the bench out of storage and decided that it would look great as extra seating in our living room.  I didn’t want to use the slipcover on it (as I wanted something darker for the fall/winter season), so I made another one, using fabric from a pair of curtains that I had gotten at the thrift store.  I also painted the entire piece with white chalk paint, in order to give it the finished look.

And here it is.

And the back.  But of course, I couldn’t stop there, so I made new curtains to match.

Greg’s “New” Kitchen via Design on a Nickel

Have you ever seen the show on HGTV called Design on a Dime?  It’s where a group of 3 designers go into someone’s home and transform it with a budget of $1,000.

Well, when my best friend, Greg, asked me to help him redesign his kitchen, his budget, unfortunately wasn’t $1,000.  It was more like $100 (or less), so it was kind of like Design on a Nickel.  But he had seen the wonders that I can do when it comes to transforming useless crap gently used items and he figured that I would be up to the task…plus he knows that I work for cheap.

First up was the buffet.

This was how it looked when I found it…in the alley…for free!  It’s a piece by Baker Furniture company, so it’s really solid, but it was missing a drawer and the decorative kick plate was damaged.  Even so, it was free, and one shouldn’t look a gift horse buffet in the mouth missing drawer hole. 😉

I forgot to take pictures during the transformation, but here is what we did.  We removed the damaged kick plate and added wooden feet that we got at Home Depot for $12 for 4.  Then we used a piece of plywood to finish out the opening and make it look like it was originally built that way.

Next up, we painted the entire piece with Behr Black Suede paint that I mixed up as a chalk paint.  1 gallon of paint $27.  And lastly, we added new drawer pulls that I had found a few months back…in the alley…and they were free.

So, where are we so far in our budget of $100 (or less)?  Buffet – FREE.  Wooden feet – $12.  Plywood – FREE.  Paint $27.  Drawer pulls – FREE.  Total $39!

Next up was the table.  (That’s Greg in the background thinking, “This don’t look like Pottery Barn furniture!”)

…and chairs.

I got the table and 6 matching chairs for the low, low price of (you guessed it) FREE!  My friend, Elisa, called me up a few months ago and told me that she knew a guy that was getting rid of the set and just wanted someone to come and haul it away.  I told her that I could do that.

It turns out that the suite belonged to the aunt of the guy’s ex wife and he didn’t want it anymore.  It had also survived Hurricane Katrina when it hit Mississippi, and it showed.

The seats were upholstered in a “lovely” gold crush velvet, circa 1970.  I think the fabric was a reject from one of the costumes that were made for the movie, Saturday Night Fever.  It was sturdy set, but it was tired, and in desperate need of a make-over…Clif Creations style!

Everything got covered with two coats of Black Suede chalk paint, then two coats of wax, and then buffed to a light sheen.

Our quality control supervisor, Holly, made sure that every step in the process was done to the highest standard.

And every time that I would complain about how the paint was ruining my manicure, Holly would bark at me, “Quit your bitchin you big baby…beauty is pain, beauty is pain!”

Holly even barked at Greg, “Make sure you cleaned those brushes right!  You know I hate dirty brushes in my workshop!”  Man, but she’s a hard ass. 😉

After the paint and wax had dried, it was time to tackle that hideous upholstery fabric.  6 pieces of foam and $4 worth of thrift store fabric later, and the set was complete.

Budget so far: Table and 6 chairs – FREE!  Wax – $5.  Foam – FREE!  Fabric $4.  So that brings our total up to a whopping $48!

We then moved all of the furniture upstairs and put it in place.  The buffet looks like this…

We took advantage of the missing drawer and used the space to hold a Longaberger basket that I got at the thrift store for $10.

A close up of the new drawer pulls.

The chairs…very French bistro.

And all the furniture together.

Of course, I couldn’t stop there.  I also made new curtains, and a runner for the buffet, out of $8 worth of thrift store fabric.

And then, to finish it all off, we added 3 original fruit paintings (2 of apples and 1 of a pear) that I found at the thrift store for $12 (I already had the frames, so they were FREE!).

After all was said and done, Greg now has a beautiful “new” kitchen that only cost him $78…or 1,560 nickels! 🙂

If I Only Had (Another) Bench!

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I wish I had a small bench, with a cushion on top and storage on the bottom”?

Today I was in our living room looking at a small bench that I already had.  There was nothing wrong with it.  It was structurally sound.  It matched our decor.  But I had had it awhile and was ready for a change.  I also wanted something with storage in the bottom so that I could stash away more of our crap prized possessions, that I’m not decorating with at the moment.

Well, you know me, if I need something I usually figure out a way to make it…and that’s just what I did.

Isn’t it FABULOUS?!!!!

Ha!  Fooled you!  That’s the before shot. 🙂

I found this piece the other day and had to lug it home in the back of my Civic (you’d be amazed what all I can cram into that little car.  It’s like Hermione’s magic purse in Harry Potter!)  Now, as I tend to grab and then inspect when I get it home, I didn’t realize until I started looking at it, that there was more things wrong with it than the obvious.  Yes, I knew that there were 2 drawers and a handle that were missing, but that didn’t faze me.  I could just cut it down and make a 2 drawer nightstand instead of a 4 drawer chest…and that’s what I set out to do.

Unfortunately, one of the drawers was broken, and after much cussing and throwing of tools patiently trying to repair it using Gorilla Glue and nails, I realized that I wasn’t going to be able to fix this one.  So I sat down on the front porch and cried and screamed like a teenage girl at a Justin Bieber concert decided on Plan B.  Yes folks, even at Clif Creations, we sometimes have to have a Plan B (and C,D and E). 🙂

Plan B…cut it down to a 1 drawer piece and turn it into a small bench with storage in the bottom.

Here is the piece after it has been cut and the top glued and clamped into place.

Next up I painted it with two coats of chalk paint.  When the hubs and I were at Lowe’s the other day, he bought me a $5 can of oops paint that appeared to be a really pale pink.  I decided to use it on this piece, and after two coats it looks more white than pink.  So, it’s either an optical illusion, or the rose colored glasses, that I require everyone to wear here in The Dream House of The South, are really working! 😉

Because I want all of my guests to have the utmost level of comfort when they are in our home (especially in their booty area), I knew that the seat would require something plump.  So I pulled out a piece of foam that I had in the shed (it’s actually a piece of our old Memory Foam bed), and got to work.

I have found that the easiest thing to use to cut foam of any thickness is…a Black & Decker electric meat knife!

And now a word from our sponsors:

“Black & Decker electric meat knives…not just for cutting meat, anymore!”

We now return you to your regularly schedule blog post:

That’s right kids, an electric meat knife will cut through that foam like butter…meat, butter…I’m hungry all of a sudden…I wonder what the hubs is making for dinner…

Oh wait, where was I?  Oh yes, the foam seat.  I measured the top of the bench and then cut the foam to that size.  Then I got to work making a removable slipcover out of a pink and white ticking fabric. (I don’t do tutorials on sewing, as it is too hard for me to explain with photos, but there are numerous tutorials on the net.)

What do you think?  I wanted the seat cushion to be extra thick so that it would be more comfortable.

The ticking fabric is really versatile too, and will go with just about anything.  Cause everyone knows that at The Dream House of The South, we LOVE pink!  Well, at least I love it…the hubs just tolerates it. 🙂

The French Dresser That Almost Wasn’t

Sometimes in my junking, I come across a piece that is fabulous, but is too big or too heavy to fit in my Honda Civic.  This dresser was just such a find.  (Our cat, Henry, is checking it out.  He thought it was a piece of crap…but what do cats know?!)

I started to leave it where I found it, but I was hypnotized by those curves.  I went on to work thinking that this one was not meant to be.  Later in the day though, I got to thinking about it again, and then I thought about my best friend, Greg…he has a pick-up truck.

So I called him and asked if he would help me get the thing home.  And, being the wonderful friend that he is, he said, “Hell NO!” “Of course I will help you.”  So off we went to get it.  Afterwards, the hubs and I treated him to dinner at our house.

As you see in the photo above, the dresser was one of my usual finds.  Missing pieces (bottom drawers), broken parts (the base and one of the feet), and in desperate need of a makeover.

Once we got it on the porch, and I got a good look at it, I realized that the top was made of that wonderful French product, panneau d’aggloméré, panneau composé de bois reconstitué, which is known in the US as cheap ass particle board.  Shoot!  All that trouble to haul this behemoth to our house and it’s made out of that crap!

I started to throw in the towel at this point…but oh, those curves!  So, I decided I would work with it.

The next thing that I had to address was the broken base and missing foot.  I took off the decorative curved piece and the one remaining foot, and then realized that the piece would not look good sitting right on the floor.  So I improvised by adding four wooden finials that I found last year and that were just chunky enough to blend with the rest of the dresser.

As it looked kind of French to me, oh, those curves, (and because it was made with panneau d’aggloméré, panneau composé de bois reconstitué) and as I still have a crap load of am in love with the color French Linen, I decided to paint it with two coats of that color of chalk paint.

If you are good with math, you will see that there are fewer drawers than openings in the dresser.  I have had this dilemma before, and I want to know, what happens to the damn drawers when people throw out furniture?  Do they simply lose them on the way to the alley?

I decided that I work with this design flaw (oh, but those curves) and embrace it.  I would find baskets that would fit into the openings and that could be used to hold linens or such.  Easy right?  Ha!  Sure, it was easy, as easy as 1,2,3.  ONE week later, I found them at TWO different Homegoods stores, which took a total of THREE trips to locate matching sets.  I came close to throwing in the towel again…but oh, those curves!  So I pressed on.

Now many of you know that I don’t like things that have that brand new look to them. I like things that are aged and distressed like me like furniture one would see in a high end catalog.  So I decided to give the dresser a finish using a wash technique.

For those of you that don’t know what a wash is, do you remember the trend back in the 80s, when a lot of the furniture (especially in the country style) was given a pickled look?  Well, a wash is like that…only sexier!  And as you know, at Clif Creations, we are all about the sexy!

I had done a wash before on a chair that I had refinished, and I had really liked the effect.

That was a black wash over Old White.  This time I would do a white wash over French Linen.

This is a close up of the piece with two coats of French Linen and before the wash.  A wash is simply paint that has been thinned out with a little bit of water.  You want it to have a really runny consistency.

I dip the stencil brush in the wash and then paint it onto the piece.

I work in small areas, brushing on the paint.  Then I take a soft cloth and either wipe off most of the paint, or lightly tap the paint with the cloth, depending the desired look.

And then you are left with this.  It softens the color of the base paint and brings out the details of the carved areas.

I also gave this piece a brown wash to age it even more. (Sorry for the dark photo, but I didn’t have a lot of natural light at this point in the day.)

And after all is said and done, we have a fabulous new buffet for our dining room.

The baskets are a brown woven material (made of recycled materials) with a linen liner that has French script and postage stamps on it.  They fit perfectly in the space and give it that finished look.

Now, I know what you are thinking, “Didn’t you recently do another dresser buffet for your dining room?”  Yes, but this is more in the style that I am going for, and the other piece is now in our den.  Plus this one, like the other one, was free…so don’t judge! 🙂

From Oh So Blue to Oo La La!

I found another chest of drawers the other day on the way to work.  I seem to find a lot of chests, dressers and chairs.

What was wrong with it:

– Missing drawer…check.

– Missing drawer pulls…check.

– Jacked up laminate covered top…check.

– Drawer that needed to be repaired…check.

Other than those things, it was in really good shape…except for that hideous blue that looked like a reject color from the Martha Stewart Living paint collection.  What exactly would you call that shade…”Smurfs On Acid”?

First off I repaired the drawer, which was simply adding some Gorilla Glue to the dovetail joints and tapping them back into place.  I then had to decide what to do about the missing drawer.  I’ve seen many transformations on Pinterest and Flickr where the person would simply place a basket into the opening.  I don’t like that look.  So I decided that I would just cut the piece down and make it a 3 drawer chest instead of 4.

I removed the top from the piece, and when I did I discovered that it was simply chipboard that was covered with cheap laminate.  The beveled edges were the only pieces that were wood.  What to do?  Throw that crap in the trash, that’s what to do!  So that’s what I did.  But unfortunately a chest of drawers with no top is just plain stupid not practical, so I knew that I had to come up with a solution.

I decided to cut a new top using the old top as a template.  That’s what you would have done, right?  Unfortunately, because I was to cheap and lazy to buy a big enough piece of wood didn’t have a big enough piece of wood to cover the whole top, I had to improvise by using two pieces and then gluing them together.  In case you haven’t guessed, Gorilla glue is one of my best friends.

I was too lazy to look for my clamps couldn’t find my clamps, so I used blue painters tape to hold the pieces together while they dried.  After the piece dried, I sanded off the excess glue and all of the rough edges, removed the tape and attached it to the base using screws.

The whole piece and all three drawers got 2 coats of homemade chalk paint.  This is a new color for me (I’m trying to branch out from doing everything in white).  I bought one of the sample sizes of Behr paint for $2.98 at Home Depot and then added 3 tablespoons of Plaster of Paris.  The color is very close to Annie Sloane’s chalk paint color called French Linen.  I figured since the piece was French style, it should have a French paint color.

I waxed the entire piece as I usually do, but it was still looking a little flat and it had that “fresh from the factory” finish to it.  I knew that I didn’t want to distress this one and I thought it needed some sparkle and sexiness.  Martha Stewart to the rescue (not that I think of her when I think of sparkle and sexy).  I have always wanted to try glazing a piece of furniture, and I found this product when I was at Home Depot.  It is Martha Stewart Living metallic glaze and the color is called Muscovado.  I thought, “Well, the name sounds sexy.”  Then I opened the lid and saw the glaze itself.  It’s a beautiful metallic copper color…and there’s the sparkle.  Maybe oh Martha is sexy after all…whatever!

So I brushed on the glaze with a stencil brush, in long strokes.  As I wanted a subtle finish, I lightly wiped some of it off with a soft cloth.

Next I had to address the missing drawer pulls.  Anytime that I am out junking and I come across a piece of furniture that someone has thrown out, I always look for the drawer pulls.  Sometimes the piece may be made of particle board, but will have fabulous knobs.  So, if I can’t use the whole piece, I will remove the knobs and save them for something else.

As I was going for the whole sexy look, and as the drawers were devoid of any ornamentation, I knew that I wanted pulls that would be a little over the top…and sexy!  I dug into my stash and came out with these.  I think these came off of one of those huge honkin’ dresser units that were popular in the 70s.  With all of those curls and swirls and that aged bronze finish, I knew these would be perfect.  Don’t they look like something you would see in a harem in Arabian Nights?  I know, I’ve jumped from French to Arabian in the same post, but stick with me.

So, after all of the cutting, repairing, sanding, painting and glazing, we have this…

Sexy!  A word of caution, don’t stare at her too much, as she is so sexy that people have been known to get pregnant just by looking her. 😉

Thinking outside the box…or the bar stool.

I recently saw a link on Pinterest for this blog: http://tatteredandinked.blogspot.com/2011/08/dont-throw-that-old-stool-out-make-it.html.  The woman that writes this blog, had made a table out of an old bar stool that she had.  I thought that I could do that and pinned the site to my board.

A few days later I found the bottom part of an old bar stool that someone had thrown out.  The top had been made out of chip board and fell apart before I got it in the car.  Later that I day I found a round table top that someone had also thrown out.  I took this as a sign that I find too much crap that I should go ahead and see if I could make my own version of the table.

I knew that I needed to make a stable base for the table top to rest on, so I cut a 10×10 inch square out of some scrap wood. (Side note – the saw that I use to cut small pieces of wood is one that was given to me by a good friend who lost his battle with cancer last year.  Now every time I use it to cut a piece of wood, I think of Mr. Mike…and I smile.)

I placed the stool onto the wood and traced circles around the legs to show me where to drill my pilot holes.

I then flipped the wood over, drilled 4 pilot holes and attached it to the base using wood screws.  I wanted to make sure that the piece was going to be stable at this point, so I climbed on top and started dancing like a go-go boy sat on it.  I figured if it could hold my fat ass 180 pounds, then it should be able to hold anything decorative that I sat on it.

I then sanded the top to get it smooth and ready for the stain that I was going to apply to it.  I know that a lot of my friends are probably thinking, “Has Clif fallen off his rocker.  He usually paints everything all white.  And now he’s adding stain to his pieces?  Are we in bizarro world?”  Well, my uber masculine hubs has been very patient with my whole nauseatingly frilly shabby chic/romantic cottage decorating style that I normally lean towards, but I am trying to branch out and incorporate styles that he will like as well.  This is the reason why I am on this whole rustic chic kick now.

The woman on the blog had also added pieces of wood to the base of the bar stool in order to make shelves.  I thought this was a great idea as it would give me yet another place to display more dust catchers was a good use of an otherwise wasted space.  So I cut wood to fit and then glued the “shelves” into place using Gorilla glue.

The base then got several coats of homemade white chalk paint (thanks, Rachel at Thriftyinspirations.net for the recipe!).

Then the top got stained with several coats of wood stain.

After everything was dry, I attached the top and bottom using more Gorilla glue, and then I ended up with this…

…a rustic chic side table.  What do you think? 🙂

From tired dresser to Rustic Chic Fabulousness!

This was how it looked when I found it…yes found it.  A lot of my shopping is done in the back alleys of Birmingham, Alabama where I live with my partner.  As I have more creativity than money, I tend to decorate our home with cast offs and yard sale/thrift store finds.

As you can see the dresser was pretty beat up cosmetically, but in really good shape structurally…well, except for that missing piece on the top right drawer…but that’s one of the things that makes it flawed rustic chic.

Another shot, this time of the top of the dresser.  It had all kinds of fun layers and finishes on it, from black magic marker to various shades of spilled nail polish.  But I saw the potential of this piece for the trash dump as a new buffet in our dining room.  And as I love a good challenge, I set to work.

This is a shot of my state of the art work room  our front porch where most of my furniture transformations take place.  As we live in the deep south, and it’s the middle of July right now, and it’s as hot as the third ring of hell, I have to make sure that my comfort level is kept at its peak by running a fan at all times.  Of course this sometimes poses a problem as the fan blows stray saw dust around…usually into my face…as I am trying to perform a really intricate step in the redo process.  Wasn’t there a song about sawdust getting in your eyes?  No wait, I think that song was about smoke…but I digress.

I knew I wanted to keep the top looking really crappy rustic (minus the marker and nail polish), so I started with it first.  I slathered the whole thing with some paint stripper that I found at Lowes (no I’m not s spokesperson for them…yet), I don’t remember the brand name, only that it was the least expensive (remember we are all about being cheapskates thrifty here at Clif Creations).  After that set for awhile, I scrapped off the majority of it and then used a sander to take off the rest and smooth out the surface.

A few of the drawers were missing hardware, so I had to find replacements for those in my stash.  Next up, was the process of painting…and painting…and painting some more.  I use a version of chalk paint that I mix up myself, using 1 cup of flat white paint and 2 tablespoons of lightweight spackle.  I usually give the pieces about 3 coats each.

This is the body of the dresser with it’s first coat of paint.  To the left you will see my Honda Civic pick up truck that I use to haul all of these fabulous finds home…yes, this dresser was loaded into the back of said car. 🙂

And then, after all of those hours of sweating like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest enjoying being outside in the sunshine, we end up with this, a new rustic chic sideboard for the dining room.  I LOVE how this one turned out.

You will notice the dog gate to the right of the photo.  This is to keep our 4 legged children out of the front of the house, as their design ideas are different then mine, and if I let them, they will re-arrange all of the furniture and hang new curtains when I’m not looking.

Here is a closer view of the dresser.

Another view, showing the top.

I hope that this post has inspired you to now start looking at used and beat up vintage furniture in a new light, and that you will create something beautiful for your own home, or our home, cause we sure don’t have enough furniture in here. 🙂

Here we go.

My friends have told me from time to time, “You need to start a blog so that we can see how you do your furniture transformations and your decorating ideas.”  And as they can all be pretty annoying persistent, I guess now is as good a time as any to start one and hopefully finally shut them up make them happy.
I hope that this blog will be informative and helpful, as I try and show how you don’t have to spend a lot of money in order to have a really pretty house, goodness knows I don’t…spend a lot of money…I hope I have a pretty house…or else my advice on here will be pointless. 🙂

So, come along with me as we embark on this journey together…I think it’s going to be a lot of fun!
