Hey ladies! (And the few gents that follow me…) Have you painted any furniture lately? Y’all know that I’m usually working on jewelry boxes but I do some small furniture makeovers. Mostly end tables, coffee tables, and I’m currently working on a piano bench for my dining room that I hope to show you soon. But I dream! I dream about having a garage where I could do projects like these amazing Goodwill furniture makeovers that I’m sharing with you today.
I’ll start with one of my favorite Goodwill furniture photos. My daughter and I went thrifting for furniture for her new apartment a few years ago. She fell in love with this $25 French Provincial dresser and told me she thought we could get it into her PT Cruiser. I think I just laughed. But she did it! (I’m hoping she took a picture of the finished piece… she painted it green!)

5 Amazing Goodwill Furniture Makeovers
BTW, just in case you’re wondering… I’m sharing the BEFORE photos with you because I only have permission to share one photo from each project. And I want y’all to see the potential in your thrift store finds. Don’t pass up these “ugly” pieces of Goodwill furniture!
This first piece is a big, chunky piece of furniture that I see pretty often at Goodwill. They’re too big for our townhouse but I’d love to get my hands on one of these. Deborah turned it into a useful TV stand.
Here’s another large piece of furniture that I’d LOVE to have… but no room! Jen turned it into a farmhouse style china cabinet, complete with shiplap!
These next three furniture makeovers are a little more my speed.
I could probably handle this small dresser project in my house. Plus, I LOVE mid-century modern.
This was a $4.50 Goodwill find that ended up on a front porch. I see glass top end tables and coffee tables pretty often.
Amy used photo transfer medium to add a cute spring label to this little corner table. I have one almost exactly like it but I spray painted mine black. Turned out VERY different!

I have painted my furniture in the last month. It is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. Wish I could read your post before painting.
I would love to paint some of the larger pieces also. I do have some but no room in the garage to spread out. 🙂
I do like making over furniture. It’s been a while since I’ve done any. I actually started painting my sewing room drop leaf table last fall. I need to get back to it and get er done! 🙂 Thanks for sharing with SYC.

I haven’t done a furniture makeover in a long time, but I see those furniture pieces in the thrift stores all the time too. I’m hoping to makeover some Ikea bookcases soon since I need pretty storage.
Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
Thanks so much for including our piece!!!
