My First Furniture Overhaul.... (PICS!!!)
 

a for effort but not my choice of color

wouldn't it have been easier to paint the walls?

Deff, however I really HATED the original look of the table and chairs lol,

My last step in the kitchen is to replace the current countertop with black marble I'm going for that "ScarFace" look :pimp

Ghetto :thumbsup Reminds me of something my dad might do. :1orglaugh

I'd replace that flooring if I were you, too. Put in some locking wood floors. We put this in a room in my parents house recently and it rocks.

Here's the idea:

Queer eye for the puppet guy

lol, better than I could have done ;)

btw, this LokiPorn is a unique niche ;p

That is indeed tight, however if I do get to redo the floor (I need to there are a few dents and tears from past tennents) I want to go with some sort of black flooring, keeping with my ScarFace theme.

your dining room set is the least of your worries!

No shit the entire time I was doing this I kept thinking.... is this possible?? Can I pull this off and still be considered 100% straight:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

All jokes aside, I really enjoyed the whole process, and I think I might keep doing it, maybe refinish my old ass dresser next month.

:pimp Thanks bro, check out the newest package on the IMAGES section, I'll be making a big announce on that Monday.

If you don't own the property I wouldn't even think about it then. But you should definitely buy a casa of your own and then you can have at it with the upgrades.

Ummmm ok, care to elaborate?

-Loki-

Yeah just renting right now, but I do have an option to buy if I'm interested, I'm waiting to see how the winter goes here before I make my mind up about buying it or not.

The place is nice, about 2400 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, nice yard, back deck, 2 car garage, and a full bacement, tucked in the woods of a cul-da-sac(sic)

You want to be like a fictitious character from a movie, basically you're trying to be something that isn't real.

:1orglaugh:error:error No, just a huge fan of the color scheme and decor of the house in that movie, Red, Black and White are my three fav colors.

-Loki-

Oh not too mention I'd never want that huge globe statue/fountain inside my house lol.

I used to have allot of "odd" ideas for hose decor,

Wanted one room wall to wall fishtanks (Wall sized Tanks) the floor would be sandy carpet with bean bag chairs, ceiling would have 2 big skylights covered in blue celafane to make it look like you were underwater looking up.

Another room would have a wrap around forest mural covering all four walls, the carpet would be green shag, bean bag chairs and a hammock tied between two fabricated trees in the room, two big skylights.

What can I say I was a huge pothead years ago lol

-Loki-

sexy :-)

I'd chance saying you should have made a valance for those tacky blinds instead of putting it down as a cushion. The black actually came through pretty good, and you can likely buff out the 'bubbles' with some fine grain sandpaper. :thumbsup

Back in gradeschool, a friend's parents did this to their living room, but they used some rather tacky 'full-sized' wallpaper, but the green shag and bean bags (no fake trees or hammock). It looked absolutely awful.

I actually did both, in case you missed it above:

I'm looking for something better then those ugly ass blinds, I might go with some full length curtains I'm just cemented on anything there just yet.

-Loki-

That sounds like a nightmare lol, but I GOTTA ask, did they have an "orange" kitchen? I remember the ugliest fucking orange countertop that damn near half my block had when I was younger.

-Loki-

wow! the furniture looks new, it doesnt look as if you have overhauled them

Hah. This picture tripped a broken rule in my adblock that I thought I turned off.. no clue why I blocked *le09.jpg, anymore. If you had enough fabric, I might have suggested something more like this:

The way you did it reminds me of the dingleballs in Cheech's car. :1orglaugh

Nope. They did have an ugly harvest gold oven and an avacado green fridge, though. That counter would have been right at home.

THAT'S the style I used in my livingroom, I tried them in those kitchen windows but they looked very out of place...

That bottom portion sits about 3 feet or so off the ground.

-Loki-

Pimp looking room :)

Those curtains are tragic.

Michigan?

Dude - yer gonna freeze!

2400 sf and you have $50 Wal-Mart dining set in an eat-in kitchen that looks like it belongs in a 900 sf ghetto apartment? Nice! :thumbsup

If you're tucked in the woods, just toss those shitty mini-blinds. The birds and squirrels won't care if you're naked in your kitchen.

Hahahahaha
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Ehh, I'm not worried about the cold per-say, I've lived here too damn long, and I'm used to the 6 months of winter we have.

What I am worried about is how weather proofed this house really is, or is not lol

bracing myself for the heat bill

-Loki-

ehh my divorce wiped me out, most of my furniture here is hand me down shit, which is one of the reasons I did what I did to the table and chairs lol.

and I WOULD leave those windows open BUT my road is right there along with my circle driveway lol

-Loki-

you did a good job.

Too much red for my liking

nice stuff :thumbsup

Looks better than before:!

Indeed! I'm picking a set of end tables next week sometime, I'm gonna do them black with red trim, I'll post pics whenever they get all done.

-Loki-

With that color on the table, you already got that and plenty more.

:)

Amazing what a can of paint can do,good job

u got now what a spiritual room? Ugly , bro, but hey its a great job to redo it. THo the best thing you have its your IRISH CHAIR.

pimpin' chairs...
but I have to tell you something...
red color is very bad for kitchen and dining table since it makes you more hungry...
(that's why McD is all in red)...

now it look likes a porn set ! :D

damn, are you rich? That place looks like paradise.

This is the best thread on GFY by far.

God damn I hate when fucking morons quote a huge post like that. Goto hell you shitty posters.

Yeah that's all I really have to say..

looks great! My mom loves doing that type of stuff.. good job :thumbsup

God damn it I hate when fucking morons think they can code properly and run shitty celeb programs! Goto hell you shitty people!

Now you have a table and chairs that clash with your wooden cabinets and wooden bar chairs. In a few weeks the black paint will have scratches, fingerprints, and marks where it was cleaned. WTF? Horrible ......

The red drapes and fringe style aren't suited for a kitchen. Lose the blinds unless you have close neighbors ... or replace they are five bucks each at Lowes.

Look for a larger new/used wood table/chair set that fills up some space and matches the traditional style of you kitchen.

I think this comes with the saying, "There's no money in porn.". :1orglaugh

It looks very cheap I think :(

black pretty much always works for me..
