Yard Sale Furniture Makeovers

Yard Sale Furniture Makeovers

Posted by DecoArt on Aug 23rd 2016

There's nothing I love more than a great yard sale find! I can't tell you how many times I've paid $5, $10 or $20 for a piece of furniture that has seen better days.  But like any savvy bargain hunter and DIYer, I know what you can accomplish with a little hard work and paint. Once you see these yard sale makeovers, you may never buy furniture from a store again!


BrePurposed transformed this secondhand buffet into a gorgeous showstopper using DecoArt Americana Chalky Finish paint and stain. Be sure to check out the floral details she added to the drawers.

 
This farmhouse cabinet from Dandelion Patina was originally an old radio.



My Passion for Decor transformed this waterfall dresser into a Parisien showstopper using Chalky Finish paint and vintage posters she decoupaged on the drawer fronts.



I found this old buffet at a yard sale and gave it a black-and-white makeover for our front porch.




 Giggles Galore found this solid wood nightstand at a yard sale, but the style wasn't right for her daughter's room. Thanks to a little paint, new hardware and some distressing, it's now perfect for the space.
