Ovaliscious Coffee Table

By Cindy, Owner/ Designer at Kenzie Lynn Designs in Trout Valley, IL.

Winning Category

We took our cue for refinishing this coffee table by the incredible shape it has. We first attached the paintable wallpaper to the wide band around the table. The entire table was then painted in General Finishes Antique White. We could have stopped there, but we are all about the details. We added nickel nail heads to add a little bling. The table is now Ovaliscious!

Buffet to Hamper Transformation

By Cindy, Owner/ Designer at Kenzie Lynn Designs in Trout Valley, IL.

Winning Category

When we found this Antique buffet, we knew it was the perfect piece for our Hamper Transformation. Before any painting was done, I enlisted the help of my carpenter who customized the drawers and doors to accomodate built in hampers. We then painted the outer body of the buffet in General Finishes Lamp Black. A layering of paints were used to achieve the look on the drawer and door areas. New cup pulls were added to finish off this one of a kind piece.

Every once in awhile you come across a furniture piece and its clear from the start what needs to be done. This vintage dresser was screaming Apothecary. After removing two of the drawers, we then painted the body in General Finishes Lamp Black and used a diluted stain for the drawers. The entire cabinet then was heavily distressed, we wanted a rustic finsih. New card catalog hardware along with caster wheels were added to finish off the piece.

Antique Bed Bench

By Cindy, Owner/ Designer at Kenzie Lynn Designs in Trout Valley, IL.

Winning Category

We purchased a few beautiful Antique pieces from an estate sale. The Antique bed had once belonged to the sellers grandparents and she had no use for it, in its current state. Fast forward a few weeks later when I ran into the woman we originally purchased the bed from. She asked "have you done anything with the bed yet?" I crinched and showed her the transformation we had done on her Grandparents bed. She started tearing up as well as I, she said " I have to purchase this"  She had no use for her Grandparents Antique bed but a bench....

Farmhouse Nook

By Cindy, Owner/ Designer at Kenzie Lynn Designs in Trout Valley, IL.

Winning Category

We took an old broken down Antique Armoire and transformed it into our favorite reNEWed piece thus far. The bones were there, along with the original coat hooks, drawer and drop down cabine,  it just needed a little vision and work to make it into something special. The exterior was painted with General Finishes Millstone. Glazing & distressing was added to give a worn patina look. To add a little more character to the Nook we added reclaimed barnwood to the back.  A new hanging wire pedant was added and custom pad and pillow too!
