Hutch

After negotiations, I got this pine dresser with a hutch on Craigslist for $15.  Not only did it have an ugly floral design on the front, but a little girl named Brittany had also written her name on the side of it in bright red.  I decided to paint this with the same 2 tone tan colors that I painted my sofa table with.  I did the lighter color on the top and edges, the darker color on the drawers and back of the hutch, and then used the lighter color again to stencil on a design. I also distressed the edges of this piece for more of a country feel. This piece sold for $60.

Nightstands

These nightstands win the award for the ugliest "before."  I got these on Craigslist for $5 total.  They were old, faded, stained, and just plain ugly. I even found a sock inside, thanks Craigslist people!  I had a ton of ideas for these, but decided to do a two tone, paint tape design. I also replaced the gross brass hardware with new silver knobs ($16).  These nightstands sold for $50.
