Just Add Trim

I always get a little jealous when I see pictures like this:

You always see these pictures and then read how someone found it at a garage sale thrift store for like 10 cents and then painted it and it is perfect. I have NEVER found a single piece of furniture at a thrift store that looked anything like that.

But this, this I have found:


Not so pretty. Buy wait! It is the same piece! DIY from BHG added different molding (all of which can be found at your local home improvement store) and THEN painted it and switched out the pulls. And it is beautiful.

Now ugly furniture I can find all over the place! This give me hope!

LOL, I love that random drawer under the before piece. They really did a great job. Makes me want to hit up Goodwill.
