I always like to see what something looks like before a make-over, don't you? It's interesting to see how it looks after! In doing my own projects I usually forget to take a 'before' photo or else I think of it when I'm partially into it! I made a point to take these pics of projects in the condition I got them and then the finished piece. Sometimes I forget just how bad these items started out!
Hey Baby! Gold velvet was hip back in the '70's!
Now, isn't this much better? It just looks like it would be fun to sit in!
Yikes! By the looks of the oil stains, it spent time in an old garage. 
A little bit of paint and it has a new life with a French Country flair!
This is a genuine 'Roos' cedar chest that still has the original labels inside. It might have looked OK 'as-is' except for the dog chewed off corner! So I painted it! Not a great shot, but you get the picture!
Once I get a spot cleared out in my compact garage to work on my projects, I will be on the look-out for more 'trash-to-treasure' finds! I guess my truck will just have to get used to sitting outside!
