I love before-and-after furniture makeovers. To me, they are “reloved” furniture. Just like I have “flea market” relatives, photos of someone’s family members that end up in a second-hand shop.

Vintage Treasure Given New Life:

Emily from the blog LeCultivateur sure made a beauty out of this worn and lackluster old dresser. It has a whole new look to boast about!

It seems that paint and attention to detail can make all the difference in the world to a tired piece of furniture.

Below are a few before-and-after projects.

Vanity Makeover:

This was a tired old vanity. Vintage, yes. But in much need of some “removing.” In the makeover I found at the Better Homes & Gardens website, paint and pretty decoupaged paper give this old vanity a new and cheery look.

Estate Sale Desk & Mirror Makeover:

This estate sale desk and mirror makeover is remarkable. Confessions Of A Serial DIYer is one of the best at “reloving” old furniture.

Christy’s inspirational makeovers always blow my mind. With paint and transfers, she achieves what would be beyond my expectations.

Dusty Blue Painted Dresser:

Salvaged Inspirations is a blog that I like to visit as well. Denise takes makeovers to a whole other level. I would love to acquire her skills!

Reupholstered Chair Makeover:

Jen at Girl In The Garage is another DIYer I admire. I don’t see what she sees when she looks at something old and in need of love. But she gets fantastic results for old furniture I’d probably put at the curb and say good riddance to.

Just look at how she transformed this old chair. Now I see it had good bones. But wow! She saw beauty where I saw a wreck.

Modern Farmhouse Entertaining Station:

I found this one over at the Better Homes & Gardens website.

This makeover is so inspiring. Not only was this piece of furniture “reloved.” But it was repurposed as well.

Magnolia Dresser Makeover:

This is another incredible makeover by Christy at Confessions Of A Serial DIYer. I think she sells many of her furniture makeovers.

But I don’t think I would have been able to part with this one! It’s stunning!

Dresser Do Over:

I would probably not have given this dresser a second look. But someone did, and now look at the makeover from BHG.com! Stunning!

What You Can Do With Headboards:

Look at what Gail from My Repurposed Life did with three headboards. This is true repurposing!

I would never have dreamed that these headboards would make beautiful shelves to hang on the wall!

Now that’s what I call ingenuity!

From Plain To Perfect:

Do from Dodo’s Designs really hit the ball out of the park on this one!

She took this plain piece of furniture and added a beautiful stencil, and now it’s a stunner!

Whole New Look For Chest Of Drawers:

Melanie from Lost And Decor took this chest of drawers from blah to beautiful!

I guess if you put your mind to it, you could recreate most anything. But I call these true “trash to treasure” makeovers by extraordinarily talented individuals with a creative vision.
