Furniture Makeover Tip: Shapely Legs

August 30th, 2010

Mondays are always difficult. Coming back from a short vacation doesn’t make it easier. However, I am excited to get busy with all things Mod Home Ec after last week’s Design Sponge DIY project I had featured.
Thank you Grace and Kate for giving me that opportunity to share with DS readers. There’s no better exposure than Design Sponge and ApartmentTherapy for my type of work.

Oddly enough I started getting some emails about those atomic legs.
I absolutely am not peddling my wares here. It’s just amazing how a fresh leg design can spruce up a piece of thrifted furniture, or one of your existing pieces you’ve decided to make over. The unfinished wood is so pristine, it’s open to all sorts of stains or paint color. Don’t overlook nice legs on a bad body at the thrift store. Shoppers tend to pass by good legs or a nice base if the upholstery is a mess. That’s good for you.

Don’t you love how the light wood stands out against the black construction paper? I felt very sassy that I was able to get some decent shots of these legs thanks to Photoshop.
