Hi friends! Today we're teaming up with Chronicle Books to share our favorite projects from the new book Furniture Makeovers. It's an adorable book full of thrifty ideas for restyling furniture and decor. Here's what we made:
We love the "Milk Men" project and thought it would be fun to do with gold and bronze paints!
Krylon makes our favorite gold and copper spray paints. We used a soda bottle, a few jars and a few liquor bottles to create our containers.
I'm so obsessed with the outcome. Emma and I both wanted to swipe these for our homes! This project is simple and would be perfect for pretty much any party. It's also a great way to reuse containers that might otherwise be wasted. 🙂
Here are a couple of other pieces that we loved. The Calvina coffee table is SO fun. I love that color wheel design… would be perfect for so many different furniture pieces! Be sure to check out Furniture Makeovers for more fun ideas and inspiration, and you can follow their blog tour here to get a few more teasers from the book!
So fun, right? Have you read any good books lately? xo. Elsie + Emma too
The idea is so gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us.
I have to try!

instead of using the bottle as a vase I use it to keep my necklaces untangled. You just wrap your (closed) necklace chain around the bottle one or two times and you have an instant necklace stand!

Ou, they all look so fancy! I mostly love mason jar DIY projects, or any unique glassware for that matter.

I like the bronze and gold ones so much better than the white ones you show as the example. They’re so cool!

That looks like so much fun & such a time killer! I’ve really been into the can/bottle spraying DIY – it results in such unique little decorative vases.
Love the idea of using them for flowers. Adds something beautiful to your home 🙂
