My favorite way to update a piece of furniture is to paint it black and add new hardware. This isn't the first post I've written on the subject, and it probably won't be the last. Every so often I find a new piece to transform.
When my daughter, Ashley, bought her first home, she updated her Nana's bedroom set to make it her own.
When my daughter, Jaime, had her baby she updated the bedroom furniture that I got as a wedding gift to use for the nursery.
I've recently updated a piece with great sentimental value.
My parents bought this cabinet in the 60's when my siblings and I were children.
(The cabinet is behind my brother.)
In the 80's the cabinet was my mother's place to keep toys for her grandchildren. (my kids)
Today, almost 50 years later, this cabinet is at my house
and it now holds the toys for my grandchildren.
My "transforming furniture" paint of choice is Ben Moore Satin Impervo
The cabinet isn't the only thing in that 1960's picture that has changed it's appearance:
