I bought a dresser that I liked the size of at Salvation Army for $20.00...The color was a weird yellow and had flower decals all over it, but was the size I needed. I painted it cream and used mod podge to apply pictures and designs to it...here is how I did it!...
(Remember to sand furniture first, wipe off then paint!)
I am looking for antique crystal knobs for the drawers...when I install those I will post an updated pic!

I found this chair at a yard sale for $3...The paint was chipping and discolored...cushion coming apart, ugly fabric and bad fabric covering job! But I had a vision!!!

Very excited to write about this! This is such an easy, cute and fun project! A SHOE CLOSET!!! Luckily in my apartment I have a "study" and for me I don't really need a home office but I did need a closet for my shoes of course! SO...I think the study (shoe closet) is about 75 square feet...which is perfect! 1st-I painted the walls Pink...the name of the paint is Confetti by Benjamin Moore...which I got for a great price at my local True Value store!
Also, I had originally painted the walls a light blue and did not need any primer...the pink covered the blue just fine!
2nd-I found shelves and brackets at IKEA and estimated I could fit 3 pair of shoes on each shelf. Hanging shelves is very simple...just hold it up estimate where the bracket should go, use screw and drill to hold it in place then put the shelf on and use a level to figure out the right spot for the 2nd bracket! I didn't try to make these all in a row...some of the shelves are together some separate just randomly all over the walls. (Don't stress about perfection...it's boring anyways)
3rd-I found 2 chairs at Salvation Army that were black metal and I just recovered the seats in black and white hounds tooth fabric. (I promise I will post a video on how to recover seats, once I can upload my videos to here!)
4th-I found the table between the chairs at Ross...and the end table for the storage area at IKEA...all of the storage boxes are from Ross...
AND THAT IS ALL!
SHOE CLOSET:
Shelves $2.99/each
Brackets $.99/each
Chairs $5/each
Fabric $6.99/yard
Storage table $7.99
Storage Boxes about $25 total Scroll down for more ideas/posts!

This is a cheap and easy way to change the look of something...I found a green plastic table by a dumpster (dumpster diver...yup!) I liked the pattern and the fact that it was plastic (easy for me to carry) The table was hunter green...not feeling the color!
I have a wooden chair that I painted white for my apartment balcony, so I decided to spray paint the table white, for a cute sitting area on my balcony!
What you need:
~Plastic Primer
~Plastic Spray Paint (color of your choice)
That's all!
Wipe down the plastic piece, make sure everything is clean...then dry...
Spray with Primer
let dry...
Spray with Paint!
