Hi friends….
Although I completed this project a while ago, I feel the need to give it a proper blog post!…These Broyhill Fontana pieces were a big thing back in the 90's. Although I tired of there yellow/orange finish, the pieces functioned well in our home. So, what's a thrifty gal to do???…Get out the paint and order some fresh fabrics!! I must say that to this day, this redo is one of my absolute favorites. It gave our home an entire new look and for so little money. I LOVE my living/dining rooms again….and isn't that what it's all about??? Take a look at the difference. I pulled the old photos from the web as I was new to blogging when the project was completed and don't have before pics of my own….

HAVE A HAPPY DAY, MARIAELENA linking to these party people: http://diybydesign.blogspot.com http://myuncommonsliceofsuburbia.com http://www.frommyfrontporchtoyours.com http://www.timewashed.com http://www.adelightsomelife.com http://modvintagelife.blogspot.com http://www.kammyskorner.com |

DeleteI have this exact table and I'm sick of the color. I'm wondering, did you redo the top of the table at all?
ReplyDeleteI just found this post - how did you refinish the mirror?
ReplyDeleteIs that the original Fontana color on top of the dining table? I need to match the old color and am having difficulty and was wondering if you had a stain make/color that would do the trick?
