Sometimes you can run across that diamond in the rough while rummaging through the local garage and/ or estate sales.  I never start the day expecting to find that fabulous jewel,  but when I do it turns out to be a real gem.  Below are two pieces that were rescued and revamped to create spectacular new additions.

This old stereo cabinet with broken record player and speakers still inside was found in the back room of an estate sale covered in junk and easy to over look.  Removing the stereo and speakers made this a great sofa console with plenty of room for storage inside. Painted in a blue grey with charcoal glaze and new upholstered decorative panels, it is hard to believe that this is the same piece.

This petite little chair and ottoman had a very worn and tattered  japaneese toile silk, but the legs were in great shape with minimal wear. Though it looked pretty sad shoved in the corner of a estate sale I knew it was a steal at just $40.00 for the pair. With a simple change in fabric only, this little chair became a great accent.
