The FunKy Little Green Chair -- $ 45

This chair has been in my garage for a long time.  I normally sit on it while I'm waiting for paint to dry, or to contemplate something that is really boggling me.

But it's a nice, sturdy little chair, so I thought, "why not paint it?"

I always try to incorporate left over materials from earlier projects, especially on one this small.

So I chose the leftover fabric from the black hutch............

.....and the "sage green" from "the sage green chest", which look marvelous together.........

Look how nice it turned out!

This would make a great desk chair and can be yours today for only $ 45

The FunKtionally FunKy Black Night Stand -- $ 85

This was a great thrift store find.  "Lane" brand night stand.  Very solid, but very much in need of turning funKy.

I knew I needed to have another black distressed piece in my collection, so I went about cleaning, prepping, priming and painting to get this latest funK-sational addition.

How cool is that?  Would you like a close-up?

This can yours today for only $ 85

The Antique White Dinette -- $ 300

This dinette set belonged to me and was purchased some ten years ago.  It has a solid wood top, as are the seat bottoms, with a wrought iron base.

It was definitely in need of re-vamping.  I forgot to take a "before" picture so here is one from my archives.  I think you can get the gist.

(My boys are much older now, look how cute they are)

My first intention was to go way funKy with this table, but when I went to buy paint I just couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.  I also couldn't get the image I wanted out of my head.  What did I do?

Begged my wonderful, best sister, to come over and help me.  I dragged her to Home Depot and asked if she would pick out a color she envisioned for the dinette.  My sister is THE QUEEN of decorating (you know you are, Val) so I knew she wouldn't steer me wrong.

It took alot of preparation and time to finish this (those pesky chair rungs) but I think I'll make Val proud.

Here's a look without all of the shadows.

The table too.

Take a closer look at how the joints are showing through.

Very "shabby chic", right?

This dinette has a diameter of 47 1/2" and a clear matte top coat for extra protection.

The FunKy Vintage RED Chair -- $ 95

The instant I saw this chair I had to have it.  I know for certain that it is "vintage" because once I removed the old fabric, I saw some very outdated materials that makes up it's construction.  (iron springs, straw, etc.)

Here is what it looked like when it came home.

I knew instantly this chair WANTED to be red.

I picked up some gorgeous fabric that I think I need to put somewhere in my house, painted it red, added a little bit of trim and.........

Drum roll, please................

I.  LOVE.  THIS.  CHAIR.  (Probably because it's red, I know)

This chair can be yours for only $ 95

The Multi-Faceted Coffee Table

I picked up this cool coffee table at the same time as the Infamous Favorite White table.  It was pretty beat up but I saw it's potential immediately.

It's potential to be MY coffee table.

I share the home of "The Man of My Dreams" and he is NOT funKy.  He believes that wood should be wood colored.  So, if I wanted this to be MY coffee table, I had to let him pick out the stain color and go through the arduous task of stripping this bad boy down.

The reason I call this "The Multi-Faceted Coffee Table" is after I spent a good part of my life getting this down to bare wood, I discovered it had many different types of wood, including veneer.  This, of course, is the biggest reason why I choose to paint instead.

But since it was staying, I didn't mind.  My honey chose a lighter walnut colored stain to match other pieces in the house and it is definitely one of my favorites.

A nice, beefy piece of furniture that you can put your feet on.  Thank You, Me!

The Infamous Favorite White Table -- $ 195

OK Robert, here's your favorite table.

I think many of you will like this table.  I'm not at all sure what exactly you would use it for, but I had to have it.  This little guy is heavy and solid and was really sticky when I brought it home.

After many hours of cleaning off it's pink, sticky substance, I decided I would go for white.  I know that white is what you normally see when something is referred to as "shabby chic", but I'm glad I did because this  little table has been a hit.

I chose to base coat it in black, so when lightly distressed, you see the white, the black, and the original wood.  I am very happy with the way it turned out.

Table for 2?

Let's have a closer look.......

This table stands at 29" high and has a diameter or 36".  It's a perfect table for two, or maybe even a high end table.  It can be yours today for only $ 195

The Sage Green Chest -- $ 225

This piece came home with me for an entirely different reason than being "For Sale" on this post.  I thought it would make a great addition to the master bedroom.  Well, I should mention that I wanted it added to the bedroom once all of the present 1980's era furniture was gone.

It's still there.

But I can dream.

Anyway, I bought this chest from one of my favorite haunts, The Shabby Shack, in Mesa.  They always get new stuff in so you can easily go a few times a week.  (I love you Shabby Shack!)

So I decided to put very little effort into this.  I took my time masking off the hardware, and chose a subtle approach to FunKtionally FunKy.

"Vanna, show everyone the inside"

This baby sits at 16 1/4" high, is 51 1/2" wide and 24" deep.   It can be yours today for only $ 225.
