Gardenhouse is Transformation Inspiration

We’ll be sharing each other’s furniture makeovers here at HomeWorkshop.com. So hit the flea market or your attic and hunt down a sorry candidate. Then seize the paint brush and staple gun and go for it! Send your before and after photos, and a description of your makeover to makeovers@homeworkshop.com.

Now for some uber-inspiration for furniture transformation.

Cheryl Maeder Antionio bathes her finds in fresh finishes and modern fabrics. Bursting with personality, the pieces flaunt her signature “vintage with a modern twist” style.

Cheryl offers up the finished products for sale at her West Palm Beach, Florida retail store, Gardenhouse. She also sells her transformations at the Gardenhouse Web site.

Great stuff, Cheryl!

Do you have a furniture makeover in the works? Do tell….

Kathy,

The blue painted bench made me gasp! (in a good way) Is that sick, or what! I love these made-over pieces. Nice post!

Leona,

Totally understand the gasp thing. I wrote about it here. Cheryl has great taste, doesn’t she? And it’s amazing what a coat of turquoise can do.

I adore your furniture! This is one of my favorite things to do…in fact I am almost finished pulling staples out of a darling, forlorn, little chair someone covered in the most awful fabric, not to mention the green, gold and purple tissue paper they glued to the wood! Who does that?! I will be posting this darling chairs makeover in the next few days on my blog (click on my name).

Hi Lylah,

Right. Now maybe we can recycle, or rather “upcycle” some of those things in our garages, attics, sheds….

Great to see you at HomeWorshop!
