Upcycling is a term used when taking something and making into something bigger and better. This used to be an old black rusty aquarium stand. Now, it is a glossy yellow console table or bookshelf, or even a TV console. The metal was sanded down and covered in a high gloss yellow lacquer. I wanted to find a piece of wood that really had character so that I didn't have to stain or paint it. After a few visits to nearby lumber yards, I found this beautiful piece of poplar that I cut to fit the top and bottom. The wood is raw with no treatments, showing amazing grain!
Measurements are 32.5 wide X 13 deep X 31 high

This is one of my favorite nightstands I have done so far. The "Koi" Orange paint I used really pops off the front. The entire piece has been sanded down and painted a sleek charcoal grey. I found vintage brass hardware, painted it black and then distressed them to match the antiqued brass spacers between the base and body. Overall amazing lines.... 3 drawers and solid wood!

I found this fabric a while back and was waiting for the perfect piece to use it on.... little did I know I would choose an end table to upholster! The chrome base has been cleaned and buffed. I then stretched the fabric over the top of the table and had 1/4 inch glass cut to fit the top perfectly (the top pic is deceiving in this but that is actually the side of the table that is exposed) The table also swivels a full 360 degrees!
Measurements are 26.5 X 16 X 20 high

I am so in love with the way this piece turned out! The casing has been completely sanded down and re-stained to bring out the original wood grain. The diamond inlay detail of the top row of drawers adds such a nice touch. The middle row of drawers have been painted a light grey, and the bottom row a medium grey. Notice the wood block drawer pulls in the center of each drawer... LOVE IT! Solid wood, heavy and sturdy, a piece that will last another generation!

]]><![CDATA[Beautiful Teal Sofa with Brand New Upholstery!]]>Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:25:32 GMThttp://www.districtchicago.com/1/post/2013/04/beautiful-teal-sofa-with-brand-new-upholstery.html

So, many of you know about my roadtrip from Chicago to Miami and back, well this was my prize find. I picked it up just outside of Naples and drove it all the way back to Chicago. The original fabric was yellow vinyl and the sofa was kept outside for years. It was almost a lost cause. We removed all the fabric, stuffing and cushions and started from scratch. I found this amazing soft, teal fabric, and knew it was a match. We removed all the wood pieces (legs and trim) and refinished them so they now look like new. The result is awesome! Someone give this sexy beast a good home!!
73 wide!
