Introducing.......New "ONE by ONE" furniture pieces.

 
 Introducing  My "Verano" set - Setee and side chair.
 New to my ONE by ONE collection.
 
Verano means "summer" in Spanish.  Since we are getting towards the end of summer vacation around here, I thought that name was appropriate.  I found this set from a really nice lady from Spain.  She had the chairs brought over to the US later in her life.  Her parents passed on and she remembers watching her dad making this set on their ranch when she was a little girl living in Spain.
 
I had them painted black and reupholstered in this fun black and white fabric.
Don't they look sharp?  They have brand new seat cushions too so they are nice and firm.
 

I think the settee would look fantastic at a kitchen table, don't you?
 
 
Kind of like this mixed look above and below.

The pillows come with the set :) They are a soft animal print crushed velvet.
 
 
The 2 "Verano" pieces can be sold separately.  The bench is $695 and the side chair is $350.
 
 
Next.........
You might have seen this chair on Facebook when I posted it.  If you don't follow my DecRenew Interiors facebook you can here.
 
Meet "Lydia" - she has been totally transformed. I found her on the curb ready for the trash.  She has gone through surgery and has become something brand new.   Isn't she beautiful? Part of my "ONE by ONE" furniture collection. Dedicated to my dear friend who is fighting breast cancer! Love you Lydia!
 
 
"Lydia" is for sale for $800 and some of the proceeds will be given to the Susan Komen foundation.  She would look so SHARP in an entryway or next to a desk! 
 
 
These 2 beauties were transformed and were sold as soon as they came back to the workroom.
I'm installing them next week in a living room and they are going to make the room Amazing!
 
Hope you are having a great weekend!  Visit my ONE by ONE  Facebook page to see previous and upcoming pieces of furniture and accessories that have been renewed.  Each piece has a story you won't want to miss!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
 


ONE by ONE - Before and After Photo's

 
 
  This furniture has all been RENEWED and is part of my "ONE by ONE Collection" and they are ready to be purchased.  All one of a kind pieces.
 
“Mr. and Mrs.” Chairs
$950 each +tax (40H x 19D x 25W)
 
 
BEFORE
 
 
This set was purchased from an adorable couple that hated to part with them.  They were super attached to the chairs but no longer needed them.
 
AFTER
 
 
  I love that they are the same but slightly different, that’s why they are called “Mr. and Mrs.” Painted a distressed black, their new geometric fabric in black and white makes them updated, smart and stylish.
 
“Ikat Gem” Wing back Chairs
$1,200 each + tax (39 ½H x 30D x 28W)
I purchased this set of wing back chairs from a couple that got them for their wedding gift from their parents 40 years ago. Their children were grown and they were downsizing and no longer had space for them.
 
BEFORE
 
AFTER
 
 It was extremely hard for them to part with them and brought them almost to tears.  Once I told them that I was going to “renew” them, the couple were elated and had an easier time parting with them.  Their new gem Ikat fabric makes them rich and colorful. Silver metallic legs gives them elegance.  Perfect for a family home because they hide  everything.
“Velvet Geo” Vintage Chairs
$1,599 each + tax.  (40H x 24D x 25W)
This set was purchased from a lady and her sister that lived in the country and had an incredible collection of antiques and collectibles. 
BEFORE
 
 Not such a bad before but the springs were all shot and needed to be replaced.
AFTER
Freshly painted in a glossy black and reupholstered in “Robert Allen Velvet Geo” Fabric in Turquoise. There is a settee that goes with these chairs upholstered in a silver crushed animal print embossed velvet.
 
“Glam” Vintage Settee
$2,800 + tax (41H x 23D x 53W)
 
High style vintage settee transformed into a glamorous updated piece. 
BEFORE
 
 
AFTER
 


 New black gloss paint finish combined with a soft pewter crushed velvet fabric. There is a set of chairs that goes with this settee that is in a different fabric if you want the set. See above.

 
“Out of Africa” Bergere Chair
$1,200 + tax (36 ½ H x 31W x 33 1/2D)
This animal print was chosen because of Ruthie’s roots in Africa.  Distressed black finish with luxurious leopard print fabric combined with a gorgeous coordinating medallion fabric. 
BEFORE
AFTER
 Perfect for that reading nook or living room corner or office.  A great addition to any room that needs a touch of wild
“Medallion” Wicker Back Chairs
$850 each + tax.  (36H x 23D x 24 1/2W)
These chairs were purchased from a woman that had them in her home most of her life.  The fabric was in bad shape but the bones of the chair were in great condition.  These wicker back chairs have been freshly painted in a soft gray distressed finish. 
 Black, cream and white fabric on the seat cushion with a black, gray and white coordinating medallion fabric on the throw pillow.  Throw pillow is reversible so you can choose what fabric you would like displayed.
AFTER
 
 
“Wild Raspberry” Wing Back Chair
$1,299 + tax  (42H  x 35D x 33W)
This comfortable, elegant and fun wing back chair has been transformed and is ready for your living room.  Chenille chartreuse scroll print fabric with raspberry piping coordinated with a raspberry petal medallion fabric.
Solid black painted claw foot legs.
“Mysterious Peacock” Side Chair 
$800 + tax.  (29H x 28D x 30W)
Purchased in Highland Park at an estate sale.  The owner purchased it when traveling overseas.  It was in shabby shape but had great curves.  I loved the Asian inspired flair and added a modern twist to it by painting it “peacock”.  Adding an upholstered black diamond embroidered seat cushion made it stunning and handsome. The hardware has remained untouched and adds character. Perfect for that corner you have no idea what to do with!
 
“Secret Garden” Bench
$400 – (19H X18D X 39W)
 
Top was purchased and adjusted to Ruthie’s style.  The bench was added and the cushion Velcro’s to the bench.
 
 
Dark espresso wood legs and eclectic touch makes this a one of a kind piece. Could be used as the end of your bed or would make a wonderful coffee table in a small space.
 
At the moment I apologize but cannot accommodate shipping.  Local pickups only.  All purchases must be paid for using Pay Pal. Once payment is confirmed, it is yours!

Repurposed and Renewed

 
I've been so busy this week during the evenings preparing the decor for a Woman's Retreat for our church.  The theme is "all things new" so you know I'm having so much fun with that! 
 
I'll be posting pictures of before and afters once the Retreat is over :)  Don't want to spoil the surprise for all the ladies attending. Above are just a few sneak peeks into some of the items I'm re- purposing.
 
I'll be giving this sconce away at the Retreat to some lucky winner.  It use to be white!
 
I've been stopping in at every thrift store in the metroplex in between appointments. 
My car looks like this every day!
 
 
and my garage looks like this!  These are all BEFORES
 
 
I've had some wonderful volunteers who have been spray painting like crazy! 
 
 
Here's a sneak peek into one of the finished things! 
 
On another note, I've been working on my "ONE by ONE" furniture that is being repainted and reupholstered (not by me).  I hope to have them ready soon!
 
 
Here are a few items in their BEFORE state.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Have a fabulous weekend and hope you get RENEWED for the week!

"ONE by ONE" Uniquely Renewed Furnishings & Accessories

So excited to launch a new adventure as part of
 DecRenew Interiors - Fine Decorating on a Budget
 

 

As most of you know, I love to make old things new.  I'm constantly find myself around great furniture and accessory finds that need a makeover.  I'm drawn to items that look eclectic &  interesting and I feel I have the eye to envision them turned into something wonderful.  Sometimes I will just purchase an item because it's cool and I know I can create something out of it at some point. 

 I finally decided to take the plunge and start
 ONE by ONE - Uniquely Renewed Furnishings and Accessories. 

I realize it's adding more to my already busy plate but it's my passion and I can't let it go.  So here goes!!!

See some before and after items I've done in the past to give you a flair of what's to come.

Below are two chairs that are getting their overhaul this week at the workshop.  They just got painted a distressed black and they will be reupholstered in a fabric similar to the above black and white velvet geometric fabric.  I can't wait to get rid of the yellow, urggg.

  I've named this pair "Mr. and Mrs"
