14 Of My Favorite Decorating Makeovers
My motto here at Interior Redoux is:
Renovate
Restyle
Refresh
And you know, when I first thought of those words, I was actually thinking about remodeling my house.
But the more I think about it now, it’s also what I do to most of the things in my house.
I really am all about making something new and fresh out of something that’s maybe a little dated or not quite so beautiful anymore. And I’ve done a few makeovers over the past couple of years!
So I thought it would be fun to take a look back at 14 of my favorite decorating makeovers that show how I love to Renovate, Restyle and Refresh things around my house:

I sit at this desk every day and I love how much space there is on it! And it was really easy to make from two not-so-pretty filing cabinets.

UPCYCLED TV CABINET

This cabinet was actually built in the early 70s. With new doors, beadboard backing and a fresh coat of paint, it’s come a long way since then!

WEATHERED WOOD FINISH

It was a lot of trial and error trying to figure out how to get this weathered wood look on my pine armoire. But once I got it — I was so excited with the result! (And it was pretty easy to do!)

SIMPLE PAINTING IDEAS

I’ve never met a piece of furniture I didn’t want to paint! And I’ve painted a lot of different things over the years too — like light fixtures, boots, tree branches, books and even a spider! Don’t discount the magic of paint to totally transform just about anything!
