Back when I had less kids and no job, I often would make over old furniture into new looking pieces. It has been a while since I have done any and was feeling kinda sad about it.
For our anniversary earlier this month, my husband had a beautiful table and hutch (the he got on Craigslist) redone for me in a bright teal by a woman who has a shop up in Conroe called The Funky Junk.
I was so happy with it, I asked about headboards for my girls beds….
See they need new beds and I am thinking that 2 redone headboards, and just a frame is going to cost less then 2 new beds. So far they ARE costing less and they are going to be AWESOME when they are done!!!
The piece above is a little old night table that was overlooked and unloved 🙁 But, the guys at Funky Junk cleaned it up and painted it to go with the girls headboards for $65 total. I was looking at one not even 1/2 as cute in Target that was made from cardboard basically for $50. This one is solid wood and DARLING.
When I get the girls beds and my hutch and table all set up I will post pictures! In the mean time, if you are in Houston, check out The Funky Junk!
* Disclosure – No one asked me to post anything, and I was NOT compensated in any way for posting this info! I just love these guys, their prices and the job they do, so I wanted to share!

I’ll have to check that place out. I have an office desk and 2 armoires I’d like to makeover. What is with everyone wanting to turn their furniture teal? I’ve seen it so many times. I’d love to see a pic of yours. I mentioned wanting to do that with one of our solid wood armoires, turning it teal, and my husband threatened to divorce me if I “defaced” it that way. We turned old wooden wine crates into a pretty impressive entertainment center underneath our flatscreen. I’d like those painted something fun as well. I love furniture projects!
