Happy Friday, friends!

This week, I thought we'd take a little trip through the My Repurposed Life archives!

Over the years, I've rescued quite a few pieces of vintage waterfall furniture. You know the kind, with those pretty rounded edges? Some were in decent shape, while others needed a LOT of love.

These five projects span several years, including a few oldies you may have missed. It's fun to look back and see how differently each piece turned out!

​Kids Camouflage Desk​

This damaged waterfall desk got a second chance as a kid-sized camouflage desk! I shortened the desk, added rope drawer pulls, and even gave it a chalkboard top. Definitely not your typical vintage furniture makeover!

​Sweet Pink Art Deco Vanity​

A $5 thrift store vanity became a pretty pink desk with delicate floral transfers. Of course, the first paint color didn't work out as planned. Sometimes you just have to change direction!

​Waterfall Dresser Saved from the Dumpster​

This poor dresser had peeling veneer and years of damage from being stored in a damp shed. It was headed for the dumpster when I rescued it! A little repair work and a pretty blue-and-white paint job made all the difference.

​Waterfall Dresser Makeover with Paint and Stain​

Here's one from way back in the archives! This free dresser was covered in graffiti, but I knew it was worth saving. I stripped and stained the drawers and top, then painted the rest navy blue. I still love that paint-and-natural-wood combination!

​Waterfall Vanity Gets a Whole New Purpose​

This $5 vanity is another old favorite! The original center section was too low to be practical as a desk, so I took it apart and raised the middle. With black paint and a little creative carpentry, it became a useful desk. Sometimes you have to think beyond a simple paint job!

​Thrifted Side Table Makeover​

This little thrift store find is getting some extra attention lately! It's another reminder that an inexpensive piece of furniture can turn into something special with a little creativity.

It's been fun revisiting these projects. Some of my techniques may have changed over the years, but one thing hasn't: I still hate seeing good furniture end up in the trash!

Do you have a favorite of these five makeovers? I'd love to know which one you'd bring home. Just hit reply to share your thoughts.

Happy DIYing!
