Hey there! Weve been so busy lately that I almost forgot about the Reader Redo Series we were planning on starting. So, Im gonna get right to it....
I was really inspired by this redo from Kat over at Maple Leaves and Sycamore Trees. It really turned out beautifully.
She bought a table at Goodwill for only 10 bucks but then realized it was damaged. Instead of throwing it out, she completely transformed it into a gorgeous functional ottoman.
Heres a pic of the table as she bought it...
Pretty cute little table, huh? But then she noticed one of the back legs was a little crooked....
So, she decided to turn it into something more functional for her family, which is awesome.
She removed half of the legs and spray painted them black.
Some foam, batting, pretty fabric and a LOT of work later, she transformed it into this....
Amazing! I absolutely love it, dont you?! And Im loving that fabric. You can find out her exact step by step process and see more photos over on her blog Maple Leaves and Sycamore Trees in case youd like to try a redo like this.
Thank you, Kat! :)
Have a great day!

New Series Reader Redos
I think one of the things I find the most rewarding about designing and decorating is visiting the thrift store and finding a sad, inexpensive piece of furniture with good bones that just needs a little love. Ive always been able to instantly look at a piece and envision what it could be. I truly enjoy that. I also enjoy gaining inspiration from others and their finds and redos so I thought it would be a lot of fun to start a monthly series featuring thrift store before and afters from our readers.
Beginning in October, I will choose a reader redo to feature a couple of times a month, maybe more, depending on time. I want you to send me your before and after photos of thrift store or garage sale finds that youve reinvented or repurposed and I will choose a couple (or more) to feature here on the blog a month. You dont have to have a blog to do this, anyone can send them in. Just provide me with a couple of photos of your piece and a detailed description of what you did to redo it, including whatever products (paint, sandpaper, etc) you used, as well as, your name.
Photos and info can be sent to ourvintagehomelove@gmail.com.
Please put Reader Redo in the subject line.
You can check out my thrift store redos by clicking here.
I think this will be a lot of fun! Its my version of a linky party (which I have no idea how to do) but a little more personal. Im looking forward to featuring your project!
Hope to see lots of redos in our inbox!
Did anyone work on a redo this past weekend? Id love to hear about it in the comments section!
Enjoy your day,
Diana
