Looks great. I can't believe how quickly you turn things around.
Oh.. don’t be fooled. I tore it about over a week ago and patched it up. Lacy’s Hubby put new legs on the back. Then back to the shop for sanding and prepping. Then painting. Next day was more sanding distress, poly and put knobs on. I noticed a wobble and worked on fixing that before I left last night. Shop is open this weekend.. hope they sell quickly.Quote:

Hi CeCe, I have a question for you, have you ever repurposed any 80’s lacquer furniture? If so, what did you do and do you have any pictures? My bedroom set is a gray lacquer and I would love to give it an update if I can. I believe it was made by Broyhill, it still looks like new but it’s so dated. I was curious if you had any ideas. Thanks:)

i have done that.. let me look through my photos. I had some broyhill that i painted.Quote:

What colors are you thinking?

I’m not set on any particular color, if you have a suggestion of a color that would come out best I’m up for a suggestion.Quote:

Here are pictures of my furniture, I am open to any suggestions on how to restore my dated 80’s furniture! Btw, I was wrong about my furniture, it’s Bassett not Broyhill.

Here’s one of the problems I may encounter, I removed the ugly gold trim from the headboard several years ago and I think it will easily come off of the mirror too, just not sure how I’ll get it off of the dresser and night stands?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think the grey is a good color.. accentuate the gold with updates... gold handles, distressing the edges of the drawers and edges of the furniture. Like this
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2b50c3688d.jpg
Then pick an accent color, Navy, white or a black..
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...82efe27149.jpg
And bring some accents with those colors. Then add some greens and woods or metals for texture.
Your furniture is more mid century modern.. so I would work within that.
Another option would be to change out the headboard with the gold, and then add the gold accents. Would change your room drastically.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...938b729f88.jpg
That is one way to go with the least amount of work, and the most impact.

Thanks for your ideas! I used to have more white on the bed with accent blanket pillows, like your one picture, now the little black pug sleeps with us so I have been buying darker sheets.
Thanks for your ideas, maybe I’ll just try new curtains and some different accents in the room. My furniture is still like new and made so well, I would hate to just get rid of it but I do feel like it screams 1987!

You should try putting pulls on your nightstand first, see how you like it. Having the pulls will make it lool less 80’s like.. as it will pull your eye away from the edges towards the center.

Been a long time.. But have a great new project. I am going to try bleaching an old piece. This is for my home.. and I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Some success! Had to get some non toxic stripper, and then scrape and scrub. I will sand more today with 80 Grit and then 120 and begin the bleaching process. Half water, half household bleach in a spray bottle, spray it completely and let it sit in the sun to dry. will probably take 5 rounds, and then I will hand sand with 320 grit to smooth it out.. and coat with a poly.

I think the toxic works better, especially the extra strength but I also remember skin burns and getting woozy…if they still make the non toxic white gel that worked ok, I found covering it with toweling or something kept it from drying out and gave it more time to work. Good luck, that is a lot of work.Quote:

A little more sanding to try and get the red tone out.. and the sides need more, then clean and bleach again. Hope to poly sunday and get it back in the house.
This has been a lot of work.. But so different than any piece I have done!
